    First short introduction about me. My name's Markus, 51 years young, from Germany and I bought a Camaro 6th Gen V6 (2017) RS ATM, US Version, in November 2020. I am quite inexperienced with tuning and because the Camaro V6 reacts very slowly in some areas, I wanted to have an optimization here. Before I came to Trifecta, I looked at some other tuning packages from suppliers in Germany. But hardly anyone else seems to have such an easy-to-use and comprehensive package in the field of software optimization. Programming the TCM without replace it with an unlocked version is almost a unique selling point. And btw, Trifecta's many years of experience with handling GM vehicles also brings trust. Ordered Advantage package in mid of December 2020 with shipping of the cable to Germany, that arrives me about 4 weeks later. All presales questions were answered very shortly. One day after I submitted some detail informations of my ECM I got the tuning file. Programming it tooks at all less than 15 minutes. Very easy and no complications. The first test drive was very unusual at first. The automatic transmission in particular reacted quite hectically and aggressively at first. Here I had to develop a new feeling for the throttle response and shifting. But after about 3 days I got the hang of it. It's not that I have the feeling of more power, but the driving experience is much sportier and more aggressive.  The tour mode is now much more agile and the sport mode really raises the alarm. This is much more fun to drive and the car is finally getting more sports car character.  Good job Trifecta.

    A must buy for this car, it is simply a new beast. I have it paired with the GFB DV+ T9363 and it screams down the road. If you think the tune is good, (and it is, get it!), then top it off with the DV+ and it goes from good to perfect.

    I'm not a computer guru so it took a few hours to get it downloaded onto my laptop. The upload took less than than 10 minutes. Moral of the story: if I I can load it, anybody can! The test drive was flawless, started right up and drove perfectly normal. Normal until you put your foot in it.  Let's face it, this tune makes several changes to your car but the real reason you buy it is the boost increase. Well,  you won't be disappointed and it's worth every dime. It transformed my Vsport sleeper into an outright beast! What are you waiting for?

    Don't Hesitate Buy It!  This is what my 2015 Buick Regal GS AWD needed from the Factory.  I can't imagine driving this car without it.  I'm glad mine is AWD the power is immediate.  Mine is all stock no mods and I'm very impressed.  Looks like my Pontiac Solstice GXP is next......

    I purchased this tune for my wife for Christmas 2020.  Its a 2017 Terrain Denali AWD 3.6.   I would drive it and felt like it revved out too much when accelerating almost as if the transmission wasn't calibrated correctly from the factory.   She loves the GMC and felt the same way,  hearing about trifecta I picked up the tune on a Black Friday Sale.  We installed it on Christmas Day and went for a drive.   At the first stop light she looks over at me with this Grin on her face in disbelief that a tune can do this. My response is yes the correct one!  Anyway acceleration is much better,  transmission holds gears longer, and keeps the SUV in its powerband overall its a must have.

    Hands down this is the best modification I have done for my 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2. The price is less than or equal to a quality Cold Air Intake - but the tune does so much more!!! It’s simple to install, even for someone like me, who is not computer savvy.    Trifecta Advantage does a couple things:  First off, it makes the 8 speed automatic transmission shift a whole lot better!!! The awful 1-2 shift is fixed, and the truck holds the gears longer so the engine can actually rev into the power zone. When you drive uphill, the slightest pressure on the accelerator prompts a downshift so that the truck doesn’t slow down and you don’t need to mash the pedal to go uphill. The transmission no longer hunts for gears, and the sloppy shifts are now quick and smooth.    The tune also increases torque and power, making the truck pull harder, starting at about 2800 RPM. I can feel the difference when it hits the power band, quite noticeable. Now, it can’t make a V6 into a V8, but it makes the truck a lot more fun to drive than stock. I am very pleased and would recommend this to anybody!!! Sport mode is default when you start the truck, Eco-Mode is selected by turning on the cruise control, but you don’t have to actually “set” the cruise control. I mainly use Sport Mode, lots of hills and valleys where I live.    Thank you Trifecta for a great product!!! Keep up the good work!!!

    Very impressed with the trifecta tune! My GMC Canyon shifts much better now and is noticeably faster then before! Thanks trifecta!

    I purchased this tune about one month after purchasing my 2020 GMC Terrain Denali. The initial tune had some issues getting it to flash to the ECM but the team at Trifecta worked diligently until we had a working tune. Once I flashed a good tune, the effects were very noticeable. Right away there was improved throttle response, acceleration, and torque. I live in Alaska and right now gas mileage is terrible regardless so I haven't even bothered to keep track of it. The increased performance made it worth it to me. Makes it much easier if passing someone or need a quick response from the engine. Prior to the tune there was a noticeable delay between input on the pedal and actual output from the engine. Now it is almost non-existent. I would highly recommend Trifecta Performance to anyone with anyone compatible vehicle! Absolutely amazing team that knows that they are doing!

    Purchased Trifecta tune for my son for Christmas present. Sent info requested and tune was there within a couple of days. Install wasnt a problem. Completely changed the proformance of the ZR2. Amazing throttle response and crisp shifts. I was so impressed I bought one for my 16 Z71! Same results. Best $300 modification ever spent.  Eco mode shifts very smooth but havnt used it enough to see if mpg is inproved but short time I have , looks like it will.  John Hughes

    This is my second vehicle tuned by Trifecta. My first vehicle was a 1.4L Sonic so I knew when I bought the 1.5L Equinox the tune was going to be a no-brainer. The tune waking up the car would be an understatement. Initial pedal depression is very sensitive. Each shift was crisp and purposeful just as Trifecta advertises. The most drastic improvements are in the first few gears that felt dead before the tune. Cruising speeds of 40+ mph are similar in transmission reaction to stock tune but it definitely pulls harder once it drops a gear.  I activated AWD and punched it from a stop and it just launches. A truly amazing difference with just a software change. If you are even slightly considering this tune I highly recommend you pull the trigger - you will absolutely not be disappointed.

    2018 Colorado CRW LB 3.6L LGZ, AFM active in all modes 0-13,000 miles - all stock avg mph 18.2 @ 13,000 miles installed performance exhaust, K&N OE replacement air filter @ 16,200 miles avg mpg 19.3 with 87 octane Tuned Installed 9/2020 @ 16,200 miles @ 18,500 miles avg mpg 18.7.  was holding 19.2 until adding winter fuel and increasing idle time for warm up using 89 octane.  In stock form the truck was avg low 17mpg during the winter.  Driving includes occasionally towing 2 watercraft, work and errands and trips to the ski resort during the winter. 95% of the time truck is driven in sport mode.  On one fall 200 mile round trip to a mountain resort,  2500' to 5000' and WOT on long grade climb, avg mpg 25.0 at end of trip, it was sitting on +27 before pushing it on the climb.  This is a 55 to 65 mph road network plus town driving.  The sport mode is a joy to drive.  And the AFM kicks in when climbing grades at slower speeds which it never did in stock form.  I wanted to see how often the AFM technology is used when in sport to gain all around fuel improvements.  The improvements are way better than I could have expected.  ECO is great, drives much better than stock and I use it during cruise control need but sport mode is just more fun. The shift points and torque management is remarkable and very well executed with this tune - kudos to Trifecta for bringing this V6 to life!

    Much more responsive, and a noticably better power band, definitely makes the truck more fun to drive, and the customer service is excellent. the shifts are so much smoother i'm convinced the lifespan of the transmission has been significantly increased as well.

    I install this on my Buick Regal GS 2015.   The performance is so much better. The pedal response and acceleration  are greatly improved.

    Installed the tune file on a 2016 Cadillac VSport with 50K miles a couple of days ago. It was easy to upload to the car and it took only about 10 minutes. I like the stealth mode option because my vehicle is still under extended warranty. So far the car is running very good. Acceleration and shift points are smooth and flawless. I like the power gains. You get what you pay for with this tune.    Cliff Jenke

    After checking numerous websites/forums I decided on a Trifecta Tune for my 2017  Cadillac ATS-V.  I wanted more power and some of the enhanced features Trifecta offered w/o all the bravado of other companies. I looked at how long they have been doing this and the fact they only do GM products. Their website is very informative, well written and easy to navigate, professional is a good word to describe it.   I purchased the tune and not being very computer savvy had to email them a few times before I got it right. Every time I inquired with not the most intelligent questions they responded and walked me though it. Mike was very helpful he could be a school teacher with his patience.  I had put away my car for the winter (Illinois) before the tune came but do to good weather in December I had a chance to install it and put about 30 miles on it before it had to go back. Before I never saw over 13# of boost in any mode or gear now in Sport about 18# and 20# in Track and that 5 to 7# you can feel. It shifts fine, drives like stock, you can feel the difference in the modes now. Time will tell but I have a good feeling about this. I can't wait for warm weather.   Thanks Trifecta

    Wow. I waited to long to do this. My stock 2015 colorado with the 2.5l 4 banger (6 speed trans) was not slow, but certainly not quick. This tune is like having a different engine and transmission.   Shifts are smoother, torque comes on early and feels like I have it in 4 low. It is awesome. You wont get out of your driveway before you notice the difference.    The go pedal is predictable now, trans shifts less and makes the vehicle drive like it should have from the factory. Chevy should layoff whoever programed their stock tune and farm the work out to trifecta. After experiencing the difference, it really makes you wonder what clipboard warrior at gm neutered these awesome trucks.    In conclusion, it is worth every penny. I hate spending money and this was no small amount to me, but it was worth every cent. Do it, you wont regret it. Your truck will thank you.

    2018 Silverado High Country 1500 6.2L which has had the occasional hard 1-2 2-1 shift issue, as soon as I felt the shudder for the first time at 14,000 miles and immediately took it into the dealer and they did TSB 18-NA-355 triple Flush. I also ordered the Trifecta tune Advantage program, being an 2018 or newer I had to wait for the cable to download the security code from the engine module and send it to Trifecta. I installed the Trifecta tune with AFM delete in all modes. I noticed sport mode increased throttle response and modified shift points. ECO mode, shifting was better in both modes. I just took a 1200 mile trip without any issues. 20+MPG at 80-85mph

    I’ve had nothing but amazing customer service! Only slight hiccup I had was there was a mishap in the file but Steven got that sorted out in a matter of hours! I would definitely recommend to anyone that’s looking to get some juice in their Ecotec! Car runs amazing, pulls amazing, just needs some slight tweaking but that’s okay because I bought the Advantage Plus! 10/10 would recommend!

     Trying to wring the ponies outta this sluggish POS... Was tired of my motorcycle having more HP than my car! Now my car at least has 5 more HP then my 380lb bike 😂. Plug n' play setup was idiot proof. Injen intake and ZZP exhaust, this tune is more noticeable then both combined. Takes some getting used to, as the car drives completely different(in a good way)... but the responsiveness is highly noticeable.  Not a racecar, not even a fast car, but a reliable car. Now slightly less boring. Great tune for the price.
