Trifecta Tune

Anyone out there get the trifecta tune? How much WHP did you dyno at. Im stock and ordered the trifecta tune. I scheduled a baseline dyno friday, but I was wondering how much WHP I should expect after the tune.

It depends on the dyno. But, more people get about 40-50 whp more than stock I believe. You will have to go back an forth with them a bunch of times before you get where you want it. I still don't understand why you wouldn't just get a custom tune ad have a baseline and finished dyno done in 2 hours.

Stock car won't be that much I'd think if you had some performance parts you'd see a difference

LOL, you will see a 50 or 60 HP increase from that tune. It has been shown to be true dozens of times.

Oh, I didn't see that my bad. Wow, that's incredible if they are getting that kind of gain.

I've seen those gains with some new charge piping and full exhaust/intake, but not stock for stock.

Try 37-45 whp and 70 wtq

Almost everyone here has listed STD whp aka: (corrected numbers) for their tune... A true tune is SAE which reads 4-7 whp less then STD....... 98% of you here are showing STD...

It is a good tune, go for it.

The Trifecta tune has worked well for me and I became a dealer in the Dallas / Ft. Worth Texas area. Bruce

Yeah it's not just a tune, they string out the stock turbo to ~20 psi. Very believable now.

It won't gain anything until after you retune the car. The car will learn down the additional mods you do after the tune.
