I purchased the Advantage with auto stop/start disable and was very surprised on the performance difference! My Terrain is much more fun to drive really "takes off" now! The customer service has be great. The file transfer/upload was very easy and no issues. I have already shared my positive experience with others that own GMC/Buick/Cheverolet vehicles and definetely recomend a Trifecta tune.

Improved driveability. I should have gotten it two years ago.

Holy Smokes ! I bought the Chevy Cruze and it was a fun little package - but it had this annoying flat spot and delayed acceleration for daily driver around town. Trifecta promised improvement and Trifecta DELIVERED ! I am a believer - the Chevy Cruze with the Trifecta Tune is not event the same car GM sold. This car is a absolute joy to drive now, It is peppy and purrrs to life at the blip of the throttle. With the tune it just grabs a gear and gets moving !! You literally can feel the seat dyno improvement IMMEDIATELY after programming. THANK YOU Trifecta ! What an amazing product. GM could take some notes and it should have come from the factory this way!!!

So far so great. I only had this vehicle for a couple weeks before implementation but my immediate observations are that this tune removed the dead zone at the onset of the throttle. That, combined with whatever shift points TriFecta altered between 45-70mph highway speeds make the swing into traffic far smoother and cleaner versus the stock I got it with. This particular car/transmission in general does seem to like a little push. By that I mean, the first to second shift is still a little chunky when taking it easy (under or at 2k RPM), but heavier pulls in the 3-5k RPM range are excellent with this tune, including the aforementioned first to second. I am planning on doing a couple bolt-on adjustments with their tunes, such as bigger throttle body w/CAI and possibly a cat-back exhaust. More comments to come later after any further ad-ons that require tune adjustments.

Vehicle: 2020 Colorado ZR2 Bison Ext Cab I've never been that pleased with the drivability of my truck. Transmission slow to downshift, chugging up hills around 30-40mph, takes a lot of throttle input to get much output, in general the truck just felt sluggish. I upsized my tires to 33's (255/80r17) and that made the drivability challenges even worse. My other vehicle is a 2024 BMW X5, and that thing is lightning quick to respond to throttle inputs, selecting gears, and overall sporty drivability, which is expected for that vehicle but made transitioning from driving the X5 to the Colorado even more difficult due to the drastically different shifting and throttle application. At first I assumed I'd need to upgrade the gearing to 4.10 gears, which is a multi-thousand dollar endeavor. Trifecta tunes have been on my radar for a while and I decided to pull the trigger and try it before going down the rabbit hole of changing gears. I am so glad that I did! This new tune is exactly what this truck needed. Drivability in sport mode even with larger tires, feels very similar to my BMW. Throttle sensitivity is increased drastically and the transmission follows suit nicely. This doesn't change how quickly the transmission shifts (so it shifts slower than my BMW) but it stays in the right gear longer and is more eager to downshift which makes a huge difference. While I was previously considering gears and maybe even a supercharger, this tune alone transformed the truck enough to where they're not even on my radar at this time. The need to tinker might come back, but this tune is a fantastic enhancement to an otherwise awesome truck.

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.

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!

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.

Wow!! Trifecta did not disappoint. From customer service to performance of their tune, they delivered! 5 stars 100% satisfaction all around. I was very hesitant going this route, back and forth looking into other options out there, but there is a reason Trifecta is recommended all over the internet!

When I first got my Colorado I didn’t really think much of it at all. Every once in a while driving on the highway seems pretty annoying due to the fact that if you had to change lanes and weren’t up to speed you would be in serious trouble. You would have to really press down on the gas pedal to catch speed and merge onto a different lane. Going up hill with this truck was always a hassle. You always had to put the pedal to the floor to actually get it moving if not you would be going 25MPH but it would feel like 5/10MPH. Later down the line I was seeing trifecta tunes on the Colorado forums and I had to check them out on YouTube and other people testimonies and people seem really happy with what they got. It took me a while to get mine but let me tell you. It’s a night and day difference this has to be one of the best tunes I have done on my truck and I freaking love it. I waited almost a year of having my truck and I wish I could have done it way sooner. I can now haul my bike without my truck struggling or even keep up to speed of traffic on the highway. For me I feel it gave my truck a better fuel efficiency I would take me a lot more longer to fuel up then I would have without the tune. I really like the responses it has done for my truck and I wouldn’t change it for anything else at all. Ever since I got my tune I been giving people on Reddit, in person FaceBook to look into getting a Trifecta Tune. Thank you guys for your amazing product and taking the time to truly dial in a amazing tune for our trucks! (2020 Chevy Colorado WT 2.5L 4-Cylinder 6 speed)

Tune was easy to install, And the difference is night and day. The car responds better, shifts better and overall makes it more of a joy to drive. It really woke this car up. I love having the ability to disable with the cruise button and have the auto-stop disabled as well. It's worth doing!
-
from pre sales support questions to following through with all they promised! this company is excellent to deal with and the tune did exactly what I wanted! this is the way to go. I believe this is way better than having a permanent dongle connected to the odb port possiby causing other issues! thanks very much! I will be recommending you to friends and family!

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.

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!
