The difference is VERY noticeable I reached out, with basic questions, that were answered very well, and with real care. This helped me solidify my decision to move forward. Once I ordered it, it came in a timely fashion. And the process was really simple, one note, to program properly, in my 2017 Cadillac ATS, I held the start button for 5 seconds. This put the car in "programming mode" , which is designed for key fob programming, and obd2port scans and such. It made the process super easy. From start to finish, it took about 15 minutes. And the car rebooted and then was ready. I took it for a test drive, and the difference! WOW! Shes MOVING!! lol. But I did have a check engine light. I reached out to support, and they helped me thru it, I had to provide logs of my driving, and they analyzed them. They even told me about a misfire they detected, and recommended spark plugs! Once the new tune was made, and they adjusted it for the airflow (of my aftermarket intake), we ran a few more tests to gather logs, And I'm VERY happy with the end result. My car is STUPID fast, and responsive. And the fact that they are willing to answer any questions (even some potentially dumb ones) is really nice. I never felt like I was being talked down to, or like they didn't care. Thats pretty dope in today's world, to feel like the people you interact with actually give a damn. It's been a great experience. And if you are thinking about it, for your car, I'd say go for it. I have NOT regretted it.

Trifecta has supplied tunes for most of my vehicles, this one is for my Wife's truck, her pride and joy. bought new in 2018, installed the 4" lift she always wanted. It is just over 30,000 miles now, and it's always performed and run well with the V6. But... getting the truck to GO always required foot to the floor and wait for the ECM to decide you really should get the "full pull". After her first trip out with the truck she was thrilled the truck actually goes with the proportional amount of "foot feed" requested. 3 weeks now and happy as ever with her new truck, no more hesitation, no more gear hunting... it's always in the gear you want for the drive we want! Service and delivery are always great, questions are answered quickly and completely. A great team with products I trust. Will be taking my 2007 GXP on the Hot Rod Power Tour this summer, if you see me out there... and can catch up... hit me up for info on what these people can do for your rides. Doug

Purchased the "Advantage" package during the Black Friday special for my '19 TourX and have been using it for 3 months. Dollar for dollar nothing will improve your TourX's performance better than this tune. The tune is a bargain and a blast. It makes the vehicle just flat out fun to drive. I've found that the most dramatic effect is when you stomp on it around 35 mph and the TourX goes into rocket ship mode and just takes off. And it keeps going and going and going. I swear the faster it goes the harder it accelerates. Triple digits happen in a heartbeat. Out of curiosity, I asked Trifecta if the tune eliminated the top speed governor (155 mph from the factory). They stated it does not. I'm curious what the top speed could be with the tune installed and the governor eliminated. If anyone knows.... Install was easy and took about 8 minutes. There are various options. I set mine to always be on, unless cruise control is activated. Also, I set it to disable auto stop-start. A minor note is that the vehicle idles more smoothly with the tune enabled. Before installing the tune, I would engage auto-stick mode at a stop to prevent the engine from cutting out. It idled OK, but it wasn't as smooth as I would have liked. With the tune, the vehicle idles very smoothly. The only other modification I wanted to make was a change to the exhaust to give it a little more grumble. However, I've found that with Trifecta's longer gears, I have enough grumble to keep me happy so it saved that expense. Also, just like before the tune, 93 octane makes a noticeable difference. All octanes will work fine but, for maximum effect, 93 it must be. I'm very happy with my sleeper wagon with just the Trifecta tune, but I also like the fact that I can upgrade should I ever decide to make other modifications. Overall, 5 glorious stars. Fun, fun, fun!

Yup, just like all the other reviews said... I have a 2018 LT and this tune is no joke. The best way to say it is, your car will rev higher and stay at a higher RPM when accelerating making it stupid fast without much pedal in it. It feels like the fuel map just runs away on you when you barely touch the pedal. As far as the better MPG, I don't know how I will ever save any gas, it's almost always running at a higher RPM and its more fun so I'm on it more often than before the tune... Plus, now I'm paying for Premium Fuel... and not to mention all the front tires I'll go through now...lol...

I was very skeptical that this would fix the harsh shifting and odd shifting patterns with my stock '17 3.6 NA but immediately after flashing it it was now shifting so smoothly you almost couldnt tell it was shifting, especially compared to the overly jerky movement it was experiencing before. This is what cadillac should have sent out these transmissions with. Another neat surprise was sport mode actually felt like a sport mode, it holds onto lower gears for much longer and the throttle response is much more lively! Literally feels like a different car. Would absolutely recommend if you have similar crappy experiences with the 8l45 transmission! 10/10 will get a tune from them again.

Got the Advantage tune for my 2018 Regal GS, and I'm EXTERMELY happy with it! It makes the throttle response so much better, and significantly improves the shifting! It honestly feels like a new car. If you drive your GS, well.. like a GS, you'll love this. Even if you drive normally, you will just have a better experience, including much better fuel economy! This is the best thing I've purchased for this vehicle hands down! If you are on the fence, just buy it, seriously, you wont regret it. Support was excellent in getting my file to me asap, and my cable arrived in only two days! Once I pulled the file off my car, and sent it to support, I had it back in less than 12 hours. I installed the tune the next morning, and went for a drive! As long as you have a Windows laptop, and 20 mins of time, you can install this! I cannot recommend this enough! Thank you trifecta for your awesome work on these products! (picture from the track, I did not have the tune, but sure wish I did back then! maybe its time to go back!)

Just installed the Trifecta on my 16 Regal Preimum.I opted for the cruise control disarm. The entire process was easy even for an old guy like me. The difference in performance has exceeded my expetations,espically through the mid range 40mph up. Old girl finally feels like shes breathing and the shifts are swift and instant when at full throttle,no more rolling into gear. I just have 1 question. What kind of other performance upgrades can i do before i need to recalibrate the flash? Thanks guys for the awesome tune part,and prooving that only real men wear Bowties.

I bought a 2016 Regal GS w/AWD used in November of 2024. I had already used Trifecta in a 2011 Regal CXL and was completely satisfied and wanted to do it again. I bought the tune for the 2016 during the Black Friday sale (great savings!). I received the cable and calibration file within two weeks. This tune really brings the engine to life. With the stock calibration, the engine struggles as it gets to the shift points, like its running out of "breath". With the Trifecta cal, the engine pulls right up to the shift points and you can feel the mid-range pull much harder in the seat of your pants! Part throttle is also much more responsive, less pedal needed. I fully believe the dyno curves that Trifecta publishes. +40ft-lbs and +60HP for a 20 minute computer-flash installation, no other mod is going to give you that! These guys know what they're doing and the results are VERY satisfying.

The installation was very simple and took less than 5 minutes. I've done several similar canned tunes including the original "chipping", where you actually put in a new chip in your OBDI ECM. Without a doubt, this Trifecta tune was the most effective. With most of the other tunes, the differences were very subtle, but the Trifecta tune is immediately obvious. Throttle tip-in is more aggressive, to the point I was a bit startled when I first hit the gas. The transmission holds gear for a bit longer which again allows for better throttle response. I estimate that this gear holding gives my truck 500+ rpm at low throttle, and more under more aggressive throttle applications. When I completely lift off the throttle, the transmission upshifts to the same gear it would have been in before the tune. The transmission also holds a gear better when going downhill. Overall, this makes the truck much more responsive. Not sure that this will benefit gas mileage. I've only driven the truck (with the tune) about 60 miles and mileage is down a bit, but that may be due to my overexuberance with the better throttle response and 60 miles is not long enough for a legitimate test.

Vehicle: 2020 Colorado ZR2 Bison Ext Cab I've never been that pleased with the drivability of my truck. Transmission slow to downshift, chugging up hills around 30-40mph, takes a lot of throttle input to get much output, in general the truck just felt sluggish. I upsized my tires to 33's (255/80r17) and that made the drivability challenges even worse. My other vehicle is a 2024 BMW X5, and that thing is lightning quick to respond to throttle inputs, selecting gears, and overall sporty drivability, which is expected for that vehicle but made transitioning from driving the X5 to the Colorado even more difficult due to the drastically different shifting and throttle application. At first I assumed I'd need to upgrade the gearing to 4.10 gears, which is a multi-thousand dollar endeavor. Trifecta tunes have been on my radar for a while and I decided to pull the trigger and try it before going down the rabbit hole of changing gears. I am so glad that I did! This new tune is exactly what this truck needed. Drivability in sport mode even with larger tires, feels very similar to my BMW. Throttle sensitivity is increased drastically and the transmission follows suit nicely. This doesn't change how quickly the transmission shifts (so it shifts slower than my BMW) but it stays in the right gear longer and is more eager to downshift which makes a huge difference. While I was previously considering gears and maybe even a supercharger, this tune alone transformed the truck enough to where they're not even on my radar at this time. The need to tinker might come back, but this tune is a fantastic enhancement to an otherwise awesome truck.

So far so great. I only had this vehicle for a couple weeks before implementation but my immediate observations are that this tune removed the dead zone at the onset of the throttle. That, combined with whatever shift points TriFecta altered between 45-70mph highway speeds make the swing into traffic far smoother and cleaner versus the stock I got it with. This particular car/transmission in general does seem to like a little push. By that I mean, the first to second shift is still a little chunky when taking it easy (under or at 2k RPM), but heavier pulls in the 3-5k RPM range are excellent with this tune, including the aforementioned first to second. I am planning on doing a couple bolt-on adjustments with their tunes, such as bigger throttle body w/CAI and possibly a cat-back exhaust. More comments to come later after any further ad-ons that require tune adjustments.

Holy Smokes ! I bought the Chevy Cruze and it was a fun little package - but it had this annoying flat spot and delayed acceleration for daily driver around town. Trifecta promised improvement and Trifecta DELIVERED ! I am a believer - the Chevy Cruze with the Trifecta Tune is not event the same car GM sold. This car is a absolute joy to drive now, It is peppy and purrrs to life at the blip of the throttle. With the tune it just grabs a gear and gets moving !! You literally can feel the seat dyno improvement IMMEDIATELY after programming. THANK YOU Trifecta ! What an amazing product. GM could take some notes and it should have come from the factory this way!!!

Improved driveability. I should have gotten it two years ago.

I purchased the Advantage with auto stop/start disable and was very surprised on the performance difference! My Terrain is much more fun to drive really "takes off" now! The customer service has be great. The file transfer/upload was very easy and no issues. I have already shared my positive experience with others that own GMC/Buick/Cheverolet vehicles and definetely recomend a Trifecta tune.

Nothing short of an amazing experience. I send these guys a message and I have a super knowledgeable answer within minutes during business hours. Tune is amazing, car has tons more power and pull, didn't think the ltg could be this fun Also the tune cleared my check engine lights from the CAI and downpipe. They have me logging 30 mins of driving to see if we can squeeze any more juice out of the tune. Can't wait to see if we can Can't recommend these guys or there tunes enough. I'm extremely impressed. Thanks!

THIS IS A MUST! The car feels completely different, with so much more torque, improved shifting, and even a better sound!

Got the Advantage for 2017 XT5. Great program for the car. it now drives and operates as it should have. Throttle response is far better, shifting far better and I got rid of that damn stop start function. Gahd, I hat that function or that it wasnt something that I could shut off on my own. Anyway... better power, better response, and far more enjoyable to drive. Great job

2022 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison. After adding 33's and swapping to 4:10 gears I no longer had cruise control and the speedometer was way fast which i wanted to correct. Not only did those get corrected but the performance of the truck is hands down better and way more enjoyable to drive. My only regret was waiting as long as I did to order the tune. I would highly recommend this for your 3.6 Colorado's.

I’ve had the Canyon for several years and generally did not enjoy driving it . The truck felt super heavy and slow. After installing the Trifecta Tune, it came alive and the shifts were timing right and bringing immediate power. I’ve tuned a bunch of my cars over the years but never with such great results. This tune is a fix for the crappy Canyon transmission. I’m very pleased.
