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 !!

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 bought the Chevy Sonic 1.4L strictly as a commuter car and. Vowed.to myself leave. It stock. Being a gear head and always adding power to whatever vehicle I own , I knew it would only be a matter of time before something was done to it. I been running an Ultra gauge since the car was new and always hated the 228 engine temp. I started to get failures in all the plastic parts of the cooling system and decided now is the time for a tune. The car runs much better, I always had.a surging acceleration only when cold and at part throttle, that is now gone. Now the highest I have seen for engine temp is 219.2F degrees and that is only during the first initial time after a cold start. On the highway the engine temp settles at a nice 210.2F . I have 7k on the tune, and it runs perfect. I was surprised at the midrange power gain from this tune. It makes the Sonic a little safer now for two lane road passing. For being all stock, the HP and Torque gains are impressive. You can really notice the turbo fall off after 5k RPM but that is totally expected and happens with the stock tune as well. That is because the stock turbo is out of volume and physically can not produce any more boost. Thanks Trifecta for all your hard work and changing the desired cooling system setpoint to 210.2 from the OEm 228.6F I feel the Sonic and it's entire Cooling system will last much longer and the added power is much appreciated.

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.

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!

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.

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.
-
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.

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.

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.

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!)

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.

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...

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!

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.

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!

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.
