2021 Blazer 30K miles with a K&N cold air intake (soon to be a muffler delete). Shipping was surprisingly quick and I received the file for my blazer in a few hours. The installation / download / upload, was super easy. The video and instructions are easy to follow and make the process simple. The ability to go back to factory settings is a huge plus. The addition of being able to use the cord and program as a OBD2 diagnostic tool as well is awesome. After you see the program say "complete" this is where the fun begins. My MPG went from 19.1 to 21.5 not driving it super soft or trying for high MPG. The shifting.... should have been like this from the factory. Its always in the right gear at the right time. Downshifting faster and more accurately. staying in 1st longer for easier take off and not lugging the engine like the factory setting. Revving the engine out perfectly for how much you have the pedal pushed down. Smooth and precise is the quick and dirty of it. The delay in the pedal response between cruzing speed and full throttle seams to be greatly reduced. As for the power, I was not expecting much to be honest, but what I got was an awakening of a beast. Its no corvette but the other day a challenger was trying to come up on me and cut me off and I was able to..... not let him in front of me. Had the biggest smile on my face afterwards. The MPG and trans are worth it alone but the added power IS noticeable and welcome. 100% worth it.

Our 2019 2.0 Terrain has been completely transformed with this tune into a really fun to drive vehicle. The transmission shifts much better, the dreaded auto stop is gone, and the power increase is very noticeable. Thanks for a great product!

Being a test engineer and amateur car racer/ mechanic, I have little trust in most “Seat of the pants” reviews. I believe in real lap times and acceleration time data when validating modifications. Here are the real facts of the Advantage tune on my 2019 2.0T Equinox. 0-60 GM Sales department advertised time stock 6.6 Sec My real life tests. 0-60 at 20c 94 Octane 7.0 sec 0-60 at 20c 87 Octane 7.2 sec 0-60 at 20c 87 Octane Trifecta Advantage Tune 6.3 sec Real power increase to go from 7.0 to 6.3 sec is about 24 HP Trifecta tunes deliver. BTW: Thank you for the ability to select the performance mode using the CC. Even though the performance mode works good for sporty driving I find shifts too jumpy during my daily commute. Yet …even with CC on if I nail the throttle, I still get maximum down shift and full power of the tune when I need it.

I just installed this tune, first of all, it was so easy to install, did it with my 10 year old beat up hp laptop. The tune itself fixed my shuddery and struggling transmission, u dont feel like clicks anymore when shifting. Then sport mode has an obvious power boost and response boost. For 449 you can not go wrong, don't buy ur dealers bs warranty, take some action and tune ur 8spd colorado with Trifecta.

About a month ago, I decided to purchase a tune for my 2019 Cadillac CTS 2.0T, and the results have far exceeded my expectations. Initially, I was hesitant, skeptical, and uncertain about whether the performance gains would be noticeable or worthwhile. However, after spending time researching user feedback and discussions in enthusiast forums, I took the leap. I only wish I had done it sooner. The transformation has been remarkable. Before the tune, my vehicle suffered from noticeable throttle lag and inconsistent, sometimes jarring shift patterns that made the driving experience feel less refined than it should. Since the tune, throttle response is immediate, shifting is significantly smoother and more intuitive, and overall drivability has improved to a degree that genuinely surprised me. What I appreciate most is how the tune restored a sense of engagement and excitement behind the wheel. The CTS feels more responsive, more capable, and frankly, more in line with what you'd expect from a luxury sport sedan. If you're experiencing similar frustrations with your 2.0T, I strongly recommend considering a tune. It’s a meaningful upgrade that not only enhances performance but also elevates the overall driving experience. You won’t regret it.

You have no idea how happy i was with this purchase! I was a little worried at first being I've never programmed my ecm before, but this worked! It more than worked, it did everything it promised and more. My malibu has auto stop/start and well the start part never worked. I'd be sitting at stop lights for 5+ minutes trying to start my car again well NO MORE! This saved me thousands of dollars and mutiple migraines. Thank you Trifecta. I will be suggesting you to every gen 8 malibu owner!

I want to say if you are thinking about purchasing this, don't hesitate. It has changed my truck in only positive ways. The transmission is now smooth. The throttle response in the cruise off setting is awesome. It's like going back to a throttle cable. And the power knocks the change out of my dashboard holder. I am actually getting up to 2mpg better in the economy setting. It will be the best upgrade to your truck. I have the 6.2 and turned off AFM in HP setting and left AFM on in economy setting. The purchase and install were easy. I highly recommend Trifecta!

This is a must have. I wish I would have bought this as soon as I got this truck. We had nothing but transmission problems. After converter flush, converter, valve body a new transmission and another converter all under warranty within 60k. At 80k the shutter and constant converter and gear hunting came back. At this point in time it was my last shot, so I serviced the transmission, installed lube guard in the trans. Then installed the tune. Wow, totally different truck. Should have worked this way from the factory. After 33 years of being a mechanic I would recommend this tune to everybody that owns a Colorado to purchase this tune. At this point we have put 2k on the truck and works flawless, not to mention how much better the engine runs!

First, I want to say the customer service is the best.. My emails and phone calls about any questions that I had were answered in a timely manner. (before and after the purchase) I had contacted other tuners and chose Trifecta because of the reviews and response to my questions. I purchased this tune for my sons Colorado because it was sluggish, shifted poorly and overall performance for a V6 was very disappointing. This tune on a factory stock truck made it work like it should. The shifts are much better, the engine and throttle response are great. It feels like a new truck. I would not hesitate to use them for future tunes and highly recommend their products and services. Thank you to Trifecta.

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.
