Rick Marr I just finished downloading my performance up-grade. I am totally blown away!!! The power difference from the stock 270 hp to the now approximately 320 is immense. I did this mainly for the ability to tow my boat without struggling to get up some big very long hills. I can't imagine how well it will do now. Plus the advantage of increased fuel mileage. I'm running on 87 octane but t Chevy recommends high test 91 octane. At the cost of fuel now I'll stick to the regular... Thank you so very much Trifecta. I will proudly use the Trifecta decals and the license plate holder!!!

So, I know absolutely nothing about tuning, mapping, mods, etc. . And that is why I hope my review helps other's who are, like I was prior, feeling hesitant because of lack of knowledge. That said, here is my honest review. The customer service representative who helped me, Michael, was patient, efficient with responses to my inquiries, and explained things in the way I needed to understand. He gave me total confidence in the platform, the product, and was indicative of the very best representation of this company works. As for the tune, after installed , driving home I was almost underwhelmed. Got home, read an article on "contrasting adjustment periods" .( I had literally driven the car ten minutes after the tune and on streets that maintained a 45 mph speed zone. I got up, 2 a.m., and I filled up the tank and just hit the expressway for about an hour there, hour back. It wasn't an additional ten minutes from my second departure I realized I had made the exact right decision. The shifting on point, the power couldn't be denied, the overall drive was a 52 year old man feeling seventeen, more, feeling like I was the smartest guy on the planet. I know it sounds overstated, but here's the thing. In a time where standard business practices is no longer held to standards such as honor, integrity, pride, customer satisfaction, quality; to actually find a company, a product and service, a support team that exemplifies all the afore mentioned is something we the consumer should take note of, and remain loyal too. I'm actually upgrading my plan and I'm certain I've found the right company, with the right products, with the right " Mission statement" . So for those, who like me, are nervous, suspecting, or hesitating. I knew nothing, I was a nervous ball of doubt, I prepared for the worst. Luckily, I found the best. Oh, yeah, the car.. It's a machine. It's alive, and I'm still driving lol. Took a pit-stop to write this, and I'm dying to get back on the road, so in case you missed it, I love my decision, I love my car, thank you Michael, Trifecta, and thank this board for all the great info.

If you have been rolling it around thinking about it. Wondering if it is worth it. It is definitely worth it. My 2019 2.5l 6spd 2wd Colorado wasn't bad by no means when I bought it. This tune brought my truck to life. The power. The shifting. The pedal. All of it is greatly enhanced. No doubt about it. I did a 2" leveling kit, 1 1/2" wheel spacers, front and rear hitches the same day so I can't say what economy is like. Anyways, it is not like the movies. It is not nitrous. Not like a turbo. Not like a blower. It is a factory tune. And it is above and beyond my expectations. Thank you

Best decision and upgrade I've made on my Chevy Colorado!!! The added power is definitely noticable. It's not a throw you in your seat kind of upgrade, but the shifting points are much smoother, the added torque definitely helps in towing my cargo trailer, and I've already seen a +2mpg in fuel economy in the short time I've had the tune installed. This is how the truck should perform right from the factory no question. The whole process was streamline and uploading the tune to my truck was very quick and easy. Took 15min total once the tune was downloaded on my laptop and then hooked up to my truck. Absolutely recommend this upgrade on your vehicle! You won't be disappointed!!

2021 chevy traverse LFY 3.6 Tune makes a big difference pulls harder shifts are firmer quicker and will hold a gear longer then stock. Auto start stop is disable and no more annoying off on at about every stop light. Trifecta support team is great and answer all my questions and concerns. Would highly recommend

After driving w-body impala's for over 8 years (4 of them in a limited), I can honestly say this is the best they've ever felt. Stop waiting and purchase this tune! I was initially worried about the throttle being too sensitive -but it isn't. The tranny remap is truly phenomenal in town and on the highway. The eco-mode also works as advertised. The only other mods on my car are a WIX drop in air filter (basically stock but passes slightly more air), the Addco swaybar with Moog end-links, and flow master 40 series delta-flow knocks offs and there are no issues present. The customer service from Trifecta is also top-notch, which is what initially drew me in. I've run into a few minor issues, but they helped me every time with prompt assistance! 10/10 would buy from Trifecta again for future cars!

If you're paranoid about purchasing this tune, stop right now and read this. I was extremely paranoid about purchasing this tune for my 2021 ZR2 as I found it hard to believe that it would be done correctly and wouldn't cause any damage without Trifecta physically having my modules and writing these calibrations directly to them. I had tons of conversations with Michael about this tune prior to buying it and at no point did he get irritated with all of my questions and requests for the tune. I was very concerned about the performance enhancement (sport mode) and them recommending that the vehicle would run best on premium fuel after the tune was completed. The vehicle running better on 91 octane would only tell me one thing; The engine in running hotter and needs fuel that can resist higher combustion temperatures. This fact didn't settle well wth me so I constantly nagged Michael about what could be done and whether they could tune the truck to have the tune off at all times since I only wanted my shift schedules, gear ratio and speedometer to be corrected. He ensured me that they could program the vehicle to be running with stock performance (in eco mode) at all times and I'd just have to put a request in my notes when updating my calibrations. I constantly requested re-assurance from Michael and even though I hadn't purchased the tune yet, he never hesitated to respond or give me the detailed re-assurance I needed. I purchased the Advantage+ tune as needed to correct for my new gear ratio and speedometer after installing 35's. I just installed the tune today and as requested, there is no performance mode on the truck. There is no change in performance when I switch from eco to sport mode (which is what I requested) and the truck feels like it knows what its doing again after changing the gears and tire size. The cruise control has also returned as I lost that once I changed the gear ratio. The install took about 5 minutes and the truck runs fantastic. I'm very happy I made the decision to go with Trifecta for correcting the data for the modifications I have made to the truck as the software is easy to use, convenient, truck performs great and fantastic customer service. I'll definitely recommend Trifecta to any friends that want a tune done on their Colorado as I'm very satisfied with the results 🤘

Like other's have said, this really woke up my Colorado. Once installed, the truck was a lot more fun to drive. Adding this to a stock Z71 2wd 3.6 gave it the pep it needed. Caught myself a few times on the freeway just letting it unwind! MUST HAVE!!

This tune is not holy smokes there is a supercharger under the hood but the team at Trifecta know what they are doing (GM should hire them). Throttle response and seat of the pants feel is incredible, what this truck should of been from factory. This is one of the last mods I did and it should have been the first, if you are like me and a little hesitant don't be, you will not regret it. This tune is an absolute must, now my truck is a truly a joy to drive. I had a few questions and the response from Trifecta was immediate, great job on the tune and thank you Trifecta!

These guys are AMAZING! I don't know that much about how all of this works. They were very patient and explained everything so I would understand what is going on. Fast friendly service I would recommend them to anyone.

After modifying my car as much as it could without going crazy with visiting machine shops and building the motor completely, I decided to get a flash tune from Trifecta. A bunch of people on Instagram that I've talked to and a few in person heavily recommended it. The performance gains have been incredible and I love every second of it. The car is way more responsive and powerful after the tune, extracting all the possible performance from my intake and exhaust. Customer service has been great with getting back to me and helping with any questions I've had regarding the tuning. The EZ-Flash software is also super easy to use and also has a beneficial data logging mode as well to get the most out of your car with the expertise of Trifecta. Really appreciate the product and the support included, keep up the good work!

Have the tune installed for the last 5 months. Cannot comment on the fuel economy since I installed the tune within a week of getting the car and installed bigger tires. I am not sure how reliable the onboard computer is, but in mixed traffic it indicates about 25mpg in average since the tune is loaded. I like how responsive the car is and the longer gears. Makes the car overall more fun to drive. Trifecta service was great since I experienced some trouble during the first load. I like that Trifecta offers continuous support and will let you know when there is an updated file available (wondering what the current August 2020 update is about).

BUY IT! Had all the bolts-ons and this was the final step (excluding E85 or any major work I.E. Supercharge/turbos). This made the most significant difference in the power out of everything I have done. EASILY added 20 RWHP at least. MPG had no change...but I also drive with a lead foot since I love the tune...so maybe it's a good thing there wasn't a change. 6 months later I can't believe I waited this long to get this. Screw the air intake, get this tune first (Then a V2 axle back next)! If you want a plug and play tune, get this one. *Make sure you keep both doors closed when uploading tune! It will not upload if you leave your doors open.

I bought this calibration to fix the janky shifting of my stock Chevy Cruze. I was extremely pleased to find the tune completely smoothed out the shifting and the car feels much more comfortable. The car no longer hesitates when changing from low to high speed or high to low speed and does not throw me forward in my seat. To add to this, the performance gains are much higher than I expected them to be. My Cruze feels like a completely different car. I have no idea why the stock tune on the Chevy Cruze was so bad but trifecta did a wonderful job fixing it. The tune was very easy to install and only took a couple of minutes. Trifecta support was extremely helpful and always answered my questions completely in an incredibly fast manner. While I cannot speak to the quality of the other tunes, I can say Trifecta is an incredibly easy and professional company to work with that made this process go very smoothly. 300 dollars is certainly a lot of money to spend on a Chevy Cruze but I can say with confidence it is worth it if you plan on keeping the car for a decent amount of time. Overall I have zero complaints with Trifecta and I would recommend the Cruze tune to practically anyone who has the money.

I want to start off by saying how extremely satisfied I am with Trifecta Performance. I emailed them about a month before I began my project to see if what I wanted done would be possible. I was creating a top mount supercharger kit on somewhat of a budget for a 2013 Camaro LFX V6. I was extremely surprised how fast they had responded. They said they could definitely help me out. I finished my supercharger fabrication and install of an Eaton M90. I then purchased the Camaro LFX Elite Tune. I received my EZFlash cable a few days later and loaded the tune into the ECM. I then took the car for a spin. It is unreal that they could make my project come to life. We are now in the process of data logging and I'm looking forward to working further with the guys at Trifecta. It's pretty snowy and miserable here in Wisconsin, so I hope it clears up enough soon to continue testing.

I have a 2019 Chevy Blazer RS and have owned the vehicle for one year and finally I had enough of the Auto-Start Stop and decided I’d like a little more horsepower in the process and with the kit from Trifecta you get just that. I am impressed with how much this tune wakes it up especially in sport mode. All I can say is WOW! Flash cable and program were delivered within a week. Great communication and response to emails. Using my laptop, I downloaded and the tune and the install went smooth as well, just like in the example video. Flash cable looks to be of good quality. I have been running this tune for a month and it feels much better to have a little better acceleration, firmer shifts no more Auto-Start-Stop. Day and night difference between the different drive modes as shift and throttle response are much quicker. Thank you Trifecta!

This tune does what you would expect a tune to do.....improve drivability, response and overall vehicle feel. For that reason I am very pleased and woudl recommend this tune for sure if you own the GS. Have realistic expectations, no your car will not be faster per say but it will have the capability to drive faster and handle better overall especially the shift points making it feel faster at times or more responsive. Pickup acceleration does feel more linear now on freeway on ramps. I was mainly going to purchase the auto start/stop delete initially until I noticed Trifecta had posted a full ecu tune. I really am not a fan overall of any cars auto start/stop function as I feel it defeats off the line take offs a bit but that is where things are going unfortunately in the industry. I would prefer a car keeps idle and know it is ready to go at all times instead of risking a thousand re-starts on an engine personally. So I figured I would go all in as I usually have tuned my past vehicles. As the other review poster below stated yes this does remove what feels like the "training wheels" of the car and allows it to be 100% fully what it is capable of. Car manufacturers have a bad habit of playing it safe and keeping things well below threshold to minimize warranties or stupidity liabilities in mass production vehicles. So as well all know there is always some left over overhead for improvement and responsiveness once you dumb down some of the factory restrictions. Having owned 3 prior Audi's and a Mustang GT I purchased this Regal GS for something slightly different, looked just as good as the Audi's, you see very few of them if any on the road, soo exclusivity, also made in Germany and the fact it was about $10k less than an outgoing Audi A4 or similar with the "extras" added (not base model). I'm 42 now and have become tired of receiving too much attention at times on my prior vehicles and my fair share of speeding tickets so I wanted something a little more adult, less noticeable but still sporty enough to enjoy. I am a big Audi fan but I always keep an open mind and do not mind trying something different from time to time. I have referred to my car since day one as my little "Audi on a budget car" as I felt the value for what we got comparatively was a no brainer for me at the time and the car looks sharp for what it is. The upcoming redesigned Audi A4's now look like our car now in the front too practically. Back to the tune....so if you own the GS and you would like it to feel more responsive or receive better vehicle feedback than this tune helps. Also you do not have to be a genius to get this installed yourself. Just need a current good laptop and some basic software know how. Can be done in as little as 10 minutes and calibration comes automatically with a stock calibration file to revert back to if you do not like the tune or wish to put back to factory before selling your vehicle later.

First of all, I'm greatful that Trifecta has made this calibration at all for a vehicle that is, admittedly, rare on the road. I first got to know about Trifecta in Buick Forums, and after some considerations I decided to try it out. To be honest this is risky because the warranty will be invalidated as soon as the car goes through ECM calibration, but since the calibration for a naturally aspirated engine is reasonably conservative compared to a turbocharged, I considered the risk to be low. Each to their own, please consider the risk before purchasing anything like this. After some hundreds of dollars and a moderate wait, I'm happy to report that the vehicle now has a much more responsive driving feel. To be frank, the 20hp increase is something you'll never feel, but the overall change to the vehicle's behavior makes it feel much more nimble than stock. In normal mode, the transmission logic is similar to previous Sport mode, but the still maintains 9th gear on highways. In GS mode, the car is happy to work in the second half of the RPM range. In any mode, the throttle feeling is much better and you can almost control the gearbox using the throttle pedal. They also have a clever way to maintain the fuel economy of the car on long travels, by tying the aggressiveness with the status of cruise control. Once you arm the cruise control, the car will return to its original state (or somewhat, in my case it still feels more aggressive than original). This enables fuel consumption of around 8L/100km or lower on the highway, same level compared to stock. Beside the calibration product itself, the support team is top notch. They actually agreed to modify my calibration a little bit to include the engine stop/start functionality, which is something I personally preferred to keep. Unless anything bad happens in the long run, my review here will stand final.

Bought this for my TourX. Shift patterns are way better, and at speed acceleration is far more noticeable. Definitely makes the car way more fun to drive. Worth the price and would do it again.
