2022 Traverse AWD The Traverse really came alive at lower RPMs. Definitely more power and the transmission feels equally tuned to match. I was pleased when they told me that the tune is active when I turn adaptive cruise off. When using adaptive cruise it's in stock tune and stop/start is enabled again. You could say there's cruise mode and sport mode. I'd say "for best results" turn off traction control, just my experience. I also notice quite a difference between 87 and 93, so I have basically only run 93 since getting the tune. For MPG, we frequently see 30+ in the DIC. I would like to calculate MPG and add to this review (stock tune vs. trifecta). I really can't say enough about the customer support and open dialogue. I inquired about H-rated tires and they were able to write the tune for that specific tire rating. I already had the K&N air filter and they said that was fine. They were happy to hear that I'm running 93 and getting the most out of the tune.

A couple things I didn't like about my C7 were the trans shifts points and the AFM. This tune took care of those problems and also really improved the throttle response. My first time on the autocross track after the tune, it took awhile to get used to how different the car behaved both shifting and throttle application wise and overall drivability was much better than before. Definitely recommend this product.

Just installed Advantage + tune and even though I have only taken a test run I can already feel that the sluggishness is gone. The transmission shift points are perfect for My 2022 Colorado Bison V6 and sport mode is how a ZR2 should have come from the factory. Easy install and great service from Trifecta. Time will tell if it was worth the price and I will review again in a month or two

I have to say WOW. I put larger tires on my 2019 equinox, 245/65/17's and even with those it will spin the front tires from a stop if you get on it. Very touchy but very responsive throttle. Night and day difference. It will put you back in your seat and my only regret is not pulling the trigger on this sooner. Very easy to install and very good customer service. They answered all my questions within minutes. That made me decide to finally purchase it because of the great support and responses. No question about it, it's worth the money.

Finally decided to purchase after having my 2016 GS for 2 years. Definitely a huge improvement! Install took about 15 minutes and was super easy. Completely changed the way this car drives. It will take a while to get used to the more sensitive throttle but absolutely worth it!

*2018 Chevrolet Malibu Premier 2.0T* After about 6 months with my elite Trifecta tune, I can say that I am 100% satisfied with my purchase. With a few basic modifications and this tune, my car feels not only faster, but more intelligent as well. My mod list includes: K&N CAI, ZZP catted downpipe, and upgraded spark plugs. 10/10 would reccomend.

I purchased the 2.0L Turbo Advantage tune for my 2014 Buick Regal, Premium Tii, and have been very pleased with the vehicle's performance since the upgrade. If this car was tuned this way, as a performance option from the factory, there would have been tons of people clamoring for a true rebirth of the Grand National! With this tune, my Buick Regal - Premium, Tii is much less a sleeper, but rather more like a Wolf in Sheep's clothing.

In 2014, I was a lucky recipient of a regal gs tune offered by trifecta on the regalgs site. I had a placard made for meets and shows because it was such a good tune! Needless to say I was totally impressed! I now have a 2015 enclave with a trifecta performance tune and I am equally as happy with it

I was skeptical at first but after some digging I was like screw it and bought it on Black Friday. Had to do a bit more tweaking than I expected like switching my Mac to Windows 10 and buying a USB to USB-C adapter to for Flash Cable to work with my MacBook Air. I would say I finally got everything in place and the time it took to tune my Cruze was so short I was wondering whether it worked or not. Left my garage and practically immediately felt the spike in torque, then I got into the country roads and the horsepower late gears compared to before is beyond words. I have a K&N cold air intake and the turbo you hear after about 3000RPM makes it a completely different car. Very fast replies from the team working here and shoutout Michael for helping me. Proud purchase.

Definately an improvement on my 2010 v6 camaro. It pulls a lot better in every gear, where as before it would pull kind of weird when i would floor it at around 35 mph as it's the end of 1st gear. Now however, it surprised me how well it pulled. The ghost cam is pretty cool, and it rocks the entire car. It shifts a lot more agresssive and overall its a lot more fun to drive. I also love how the rev limiter is removed.

I was having issues with 2014 Chevy Malibu Ls. The vehicle kept stalling when autostop kicked in at stops. I installed the tune and havent had a problem since.👍

I’ll split this review into two distinct portions, as I believe they both are integral to your purchase and deserve to be equally represented. The tune: I think the one of best ways to think of the Trifecta Advantage Tune is as ‘OEM Plus’. Everything about the car still works normally and as you expect, no warning lights, no lasting equipment bolted to the car, nothing special to do to use the tune daily, no extra maintenance or special fuel needed. As others have stated in their reviews, it just feels how like the car should have been tuned from the factory, or at the very least tuned this way in a selectable sport mode. Another good way to think about it is, it really ‘wakes the car up’ and makes it feel lively and willing without doing anything too drastic. What you can expect to notice immediately after applying the tune; · Much crisper and more progressive throttle response, you just need much less pedal to get the job done, the response is very welcome and does away with any sluggish feel to the powertrain. · It gets on boost a bit faster and harder. The car isn’t a weapon by any means, but it gets on the boil sooner and the butt dyno can definitely feel more pep in it’s step. It makes this little 1.4T feel more like the power of a 1.6T · The gears rev out to 6000RPM now instead of short shifting, and the shifts themselves feel sportier (especially 2nd to 3rd and above), it also holds gears a bit longer instead of forever trying to get into the highest gear possible as quickly as it can. · The trans responds a lot faster and downshifts much quicker when responding to your throttle input, much less sluggish/lugging feeling, it just jumps up a cog or maybe two and gets to work. · No notable change to fuel economy. The magic part is how all these things marry together and improve the cars driving character to be much more sporting when you need it to be, and when just cruising about it’s also just more 'sorted' and dialled in. Before it felt like the car really needed to be driven with a super heavy foot to extract it’s potential and even then the trans logic would leave me frustrated. Now the car drives like it always should have, modest but welcome cumulative improvements to the normal day to day driving, and if you need to get up and boogie, it’s ready and willing in every way, and has some more poke to boot. Only downside worth listing is, as my vehicle wasn’t a USDM vehicle, I cannot enable/disable the tune with Cruise control, no biggie for me anyway because the car is better all around – and of course cruise control still works as normal. The team and process: This side of the coin was super important for me. I live in Australia for one (16 hours time difference between us), so all my support has been remote, not to mention the vehicle I’ve had tuned isn’t even listed on their website. I initially contacted TRIFECTA regarding my GM vehicles because I saw they tuned their international counterparts, I have a 2020 Holden Equinox and a 2017 Holden Astra, both have their equivalent powertrains in Chevy vehicles, the Equinox and Cruze. The team asked for the VIN numbers and confirmed they could provide a tune for my vehicles. So I bit the bullet, ordered a couple of tunes and one cable. When it arrived, I was pretty quickly disappointed to see that it couldn’t connect to either vehicle, but TRIFECTA support never seemed to doubt we’d get it working. There were a couple of late nights due to the time difference, but they were always quick to respond. As an IT worker, I can only praise their troubleshooting methodology and processes. I was walked through exactly what to try to get it to work, and was able to send them logs from the EZ Flash app to analyse. The engineers made two revisions to the app itself, and each time it enabled access to another of my vehicles. The pace of their development and wizardry level knowledge of GM cars had me providing all the needed info for my tunes in just a few short days, I think it would have been even faster if I was USA based. I cannot praise the team enough for their effort. They are clearly GM vehicle tuning masters, and on top of that are consummate professionals to deal with at every step of the way, from pre-sales questions, through to the sales experience, support experience if things aren’t totally smooth for whatever reason, and just general advice on the vehicles and tunes themselves. This is where a lot of your hard earned money goes when you buy a tune from TRIFECTA, you’re buying piece of mind, support and a wealth of knowledge to go with it, and to top it off the tune is impeccable, faultless. I would not hesitate for a split-second to purchase another tune from TRIFECTA. Well done.

I installed the Advantage+ on my Colorado over 2 years ago. In that time, I've lifted it and installed taller tires. This has, in no way, affected the power increase I got when I first installed the tune. I have recommended this product to several people. Those who have installed it have thanked me for the recommendation. I love how my truck runs since installing it. I believe it has, actually, increased my gas mileage as well. Thank you, Trifecta, for making such an awesome product!

I love this product got it for 2014 Chevy Malibu 2.5l 4cyl. It made the car feel like it came alive, much better shift point’s especially on hwy previous to the trifecta performance program when I would get to around 55 mph the car would somewhat hesitate and struggle to stay in 4th gear kept having to downshift to get power to accelerate even uphills, since the upgrade there is power right where it needs to be has my engine running just above 2krpm and can accelerate in the first gears to reach 55mph and maintain speeds through shifts much more smoothly . Also the added benefit of deleting the auto stop has been a lifesaver I’ve not had any issues with it since the program it was throwing multiple codes for the DBCM and various other issues before.. Would recommend to anyone !!

I have a 2021 Chevy Blazer RS and this tune was exactly what I was looking for. This tune pairs very nicely with the K&N cold air intake and MagnaFlow Street Series, cat-back exhaust system I had previously installed on the car. Trifecta stated the vehicle should be 100% stock, however most name brand cold air intakes & exhaust systems that didn't pose an issue with the stock vehicle should be compatible, so I took that risk and am glad I did! Any minor improvements I found with my previous upgrades were perfected by this tune; rarely needing to downshift when climbing hills, improved throttle response (in all drive modes respectively), better shift timing for a smoother ride, and more power when towing. And with a great product comes great customer service! I received the EZ Flash cable within days of ordering and response timing was almost immediate. Great product!

No disappointed here.. Nothing but grins every time I drive.. Power delivery is greatly improved and for me the fuel mileage never changed.. If you are looking for performance improvements this is money well spent.
-
This is one of those no brainer modifications. It does everything better. Fuel mileage is better, performance is amazing!! It is hard to believe that this a 4 cylinder car after the tune. It makes driving the sky so much more enjoyable. We have numerous cars including a C7 z06 vette, and this Saturn with Trifecta tuning is more fun to drive.
-
I have a 2018 Silverado and this tune has definitely improved the drive quality of the truck. I was mostly looking for something to disable the AFM system as there's a noticeable resistance felt when the motor switches to V4, also causing hard shifts when going up long, slight inclines (where the motor is constantly switching back and forth between V4 & V8). Not only has this tune eliminated that, but the truck hardly shifts going up any hill now, even if I decide to heavily accelerate half way up the hill. The shift timing has been greatly improved and the truck feels like it has the power it should.
-
Noticeable difference! Crazy how much more power and torque I received from this. This is how this car should have been from the factory, I also love the fact it removes the "start/stop" mode which drives me crazy that it cant be turned off without something like this tune! 10/10 worth it for the 2.0T 😎

My girlfriends 2012 Equinox has the dreaded oil usage and therefore throws P0420 often, disabling remote start. This engine is also gutless. I purchased this tune to take care of constantly having to clear codes so she has remote start and to get a more useable power powerband. I still use 87 octane and it is a noticeable difference in power and crisper shifts.
