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!

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!

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.

2021 GMC Canyon Elevation Crew Cab 4x4 stock......all I can say is WOW....night & day difference...do I recommend this tune on a Stock Canyon....Yes...yes...yes...worth every pennies.

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.

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.

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!

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.

This was worth every penny! As others have stated in some of the reviews, if you are on the fence about purchasing this, do it! I waited weeks to pull the trigger. It took 3 days for the cable to show up, then later that day the file was ready to download. It took maybe 15-20min and bam! I live right next to a highway. I gave half throttle and Whooosh! I laughed like a madman. Hahaha! I had low expectations, and this blew them out of the water. I can actually pass other vehicles with ease, at part throttle to half throttle. Before I had to plan ahead, go full throttle and pray. The only mod I have is a custom cold air intake and this tune. I chose this over all other tunes due to ease of access, price and most of all for the switching of the tune via the cruise control arming switch. It is great having a "go fast button". I noticed a 1mpg drop, but I bet that is due to my heavier foot having fun with the tune. Overall, in either mode the car runs noticeably better. No issues before the tune, so I was surprised at the smoother idle and just general better feel of the car in either mode. Clear instructions, ease of install, no core or credits like other tuners using HP tuners. Easy upgrade options. Great customer service. I feel this is the best choice for tuning your Cruze. It makes the daily drive have some fun moments.

This tune changed my truck. I cannot recommend this enough to someone that really loves their Colorado and cares about the quality of their driving experience. Trifecta support has also been very helpful with all my questions as well. 10/10 recommend!

This tune made a huge difference in all aspects of the driving characteristics of a 2019 Chevy Equinox LT. The throttle is noticeably more responsive, and the transmission shifts are quicker, more decisive and it downshifts when you press the brake when coming down an incline. I loaded the tune and drove the car with 87 octane gas, and the power increase was impressive. When I used all of that gas and refilled with premium, the power increase was even more impressive. If you get this tune, pay the little extra for premium because it is worth it. So much so that it feels like a much bigger engine, because the power delivery is more linear with no turbo lag. The lag made the 1.5 liter engine feel underpowered at times, especially when merging onto the freeway. If you have problems merging into fast moving traffic, then you really need this tune. I like this tune so much that I am really thinking of getting it for another 2019 Equinox, maybe this holiday season I will get it.

2019 Impala LT, 3.6. This tune really woke it up. Drivability is greatly improved, passing is much easier, and the shifting is on point.

Made worlds of difference in our 2007 Solstice GXP 5 sp. Stock the car is rated 260HP/260Trq at the crank. After your budget tune I paid to have a 3 run Dyno here in our area. At the wheels, 280.97 HP/321Trq. Nuff said! WOW!!!!!!!!

So I bought my tune back in December and between the weather and just being a wuss, I finally got around to installing the tune today. I did not previously own a laptop, so I found a free Sony Vaio from circa 2002 and installed Windows XP Pro with all updates (high priority and optional including .Net). It has a Pentium III processor with a 15GB HDD, and 128MB of RAM . . . but previously I read that if it can run XP than it can run EZ Flash no problem. Well in the end it installed the tune with no issues, even on that ancient hardware, but it definitely reinforced the need get a more modern machine. This dinosaur took about 1 minute per 1% of the tuning operation, so all told with the transparency mode enabled it took about 2 hours to install the tune total. I didn't really expect this, so I had sat in the driver's seat with the door shut (with an extension cord running to the laptop out the passengers side back to the house) and was afraid to move/open the door/etc. for 2 hours. I thought my bladder was going to explode!!! So lesson learned, use a computer with decent, modern specs. So yeah if anyone has a spare, cheap laptop laying around that they want to donate to the "Chad doesn't want to sit in his car for 2 hours while tuning fund" let me know! Now to the fun part. After installing the tune and enabling transparency mode, I cleared the TCM adaptives and decided to take her for a short spin. All I can say is WOW. I started her off in Sport Mode (I've got an automatic) and the car finally drives like I hoped it would after installing my Vararam CAI and Vmax ported throttle body. I asked for firmer shifts and in Sport Mode it feels really aggressive, but not to the point of being annoying. I did another couple of miles in Drive just for comparisons sake, and Drive now feels like Sport Mode used to so I may actually use Drive now! (I previously drove it exclusively in Sport Mode). So now I'm going to drive it around for the week and shoot for some datalogs next weekend.

Very Impressed with the new performance! The engine is much more responsive than stock, particularly in 5th or 6th gears. When in stock mode, and 5th or 6th (manual trans) you had to be aware of your speed and of the terrain, or you had NO power. Now the little engine pulls willingly above 2000rpm. Second gear is FUN, and will take you past 55mph in a hurry. Third gear pulls almost as well as 2nd, above 3000rpm. Excellent throttle response, excellent acceleration in all gears, at all rpm, and at all throttle positions. The Trifecta tune for the 1.4L Cruze was well thought out and well executed. Thank you for turning my little econobox into a FUN machine to drive! Tom

I would just like to state that my experience with trifecta was exellent. I have a 08 cobalt ss turbo black in color. My mods are: Hahns cool ram intake Hahns charge piping Hahns Inter cooler Hahns Cat con downpipe Hahns Street cat back exhaust Clutchmasters stage 3 with aluminium flywheel Gms1 I got the select a tune which i chose to get on my cruise control button, best option to have lol I wondered how much more power i would get over gms1. Well now at 40 km-hr at 2000rmp the tire light up and i mean light up. When the boost reaches 23 psi wow!!! the car is so much stronger throughout every gear. The gms1 tune looses alot of power pass 5000rpm the trifecta tune keeps pulling!!! Very happy customer!! My ultimate goal is the s20g turbo upgrade now that i have seen that my car can handle 24psi spikes and hold 23 psi, my clutch and transmission can hold that much torque. It is time to get it!! No issue to engine light no codes after tune!!!

Trifecta's software for the GM 2.0 turbo engine is terrific! My bachelors degree is in mechanical engineering from General Motors Institute (now called Kettering University) and I have been working on numerous GM vehicles for many years. The Trifecta tune is the best performance product I have used in 40 years of tuning! If GM was smart, they would hire Trifecta Performance to optimize the Cadillac ATS and other vehicles....

I purchased the budget tune for my sky redline several months back and love it!

First, my apologies to all involved on the trouble with getting the tune file. My wife decided to use an email address I'd deep sixed some time back. I installed the tune on her 2007 Solstice GXP over the weekend. I was blown away at how much power it picked up. She drove it and came back with a one word review. "DAMN!" Momma's happy so I'm happy. Thanks, Trifecta.
