Discontinuing GT Tuner Service
It is with mixed feelings that I announce we're discontinuing the GT Tuner
service, as Trifecta Performance was founded based on this product. However,
as time has gone on, we've realized that laptop availability has made it
possible to use EZ Flash cable and software to distribute our products instead
of the GT Tuners. Furthermore, the GT Tuner units do not have enough capability
to program the newest 3MB EEPROM GM controllers, so this is a good time to phase
them out.

Trifecta buys 2012 Chevrolet Sonic TURBO
It's been a few weeks since we bought a car, so why not buy another one?
After a gruelingly difficult search, one train ride and a 200 mile drive,
we ended up with one crystal red tintcoat 2012 Chevrolet Sonic 1.4L
TURBO. So far, it looks like we'll see the same kind of gains our Cruze
saw! We also started a Facebook page to track our day to day work on the
Sonic

Trifecta buys a 2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo
It's been about six months since we bought a new car to tinker with

Turbo? Equipped with the "next generation" 2.0 turbo engine, the
Regal is spec'd out at 220HP/258TQ from the factory. We haven't

E85 Tuning for LNF
A Trifecta first - we figured out how to advance the injection timing
on the LNF far enough to support 100% E85 on most vehicles!
2011 Buick Regal Turbo tuned by Trifecta

tune their 2011 Buick Regal Turbo model. Initial testing showed a
reported gain of about 70 lb-ft of torque and much better performance!
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring) disable in the works!
If you have a 2007-2010 GM LNF vehicle (Solstice/Sky, Cobalt or HHR)

2011 Chevrolet Silverado 6.0L (L96) Tuning
We've recently had an opportunity to tune our first 2011 Chevy
Silverado with the new 6.0L (L96) engine! As people are quickly
finding out, this vehicle uses the new E78 engine controller that
is not supported by any of the handhelds right now (at the time of
this notice). If you have one of these vehicles and
would like a full custom tune for the engine AND transmission in it,
look no further than Trifecta!
As Trifecta continues to be first-to-market and leading edge on this
next generation of controllers being produced for GM vehicles,
consider us first and foremost for your tuning needs! Tuning shops
interested in tuning solutions for these new controllers can contact

2011 Chevrolet Cruze 1.4L Turbo Tuning Now Available!
It's been a busy few weeks here at Trifecta! We purchased a Chevy Cruze
LTZ a few weeks ago, and as you might expect it didn't stay stock for
too long. We've been busy tuning and tweaking and managed to get a gain
of about 36HP and 54TQ on an otherwise completely stock vehicle. This is
a 31% gain in HP and 38% gain in torque! Check out the dyno section for
the official dyno sheet! We are setting the retail price on our Cruze
tune at $350, and will be offering the tune for $300 for the rest of the

Trifecta Tunes a 2011 Buick Regal 2.4L SIDI
The 2010 Buick LaCrosse and the 2011 Buick Regal usher in
an exciting new era for Buick. With the overhauled LaCrosse
and the reintroduction of the Regal, Buick is on the fast track
to deliver industry game-changing vehicles, and to bring new
meaning to the brand.
Always striving to be first-to-market, Trifecta is the first company
to tune the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, and now we can add 2011 Buick Regal
to the list! While GM engineers have given these cars a refreshing,
aggressive look, from the factory they still perform like the Buick
of yesterday. With Trifecta's Buick tune, soft shifting transmissions,
mushy accelerator pedal feel and sluggish response are a thing of the
past.

Trifecta's Chevrolet Cruze Tune
As many people know, the Chevrolet Cruze is slated to replace the
Chevrolet Cobalt starting in the model year 2011. The Cruze is
now starting to arrive at dealerships across North America. The
Cruze has two engine options - a 1.8L engine and a 1.4L / Turbo
engine. We fully expect that the turbo engine will be able to
achieve decent gains through tuning alone, as has been the case
for other GM vehicles.
Trifecta is ready to go with their Cruze tune for both the 1.8L
and the 1.4L turbo engine, but we're looking for someone to help
us generate some dyno results. If you have a Cruze, please contact
us for more information on how you can get a great deal on a custom
tune!
More ECM/TCM support from Trifecta
Over the last few months, we've been working hard to unlock the
next generation of engine and transmission controllers from GM. We
now offer tuning for the E39, E78, E83 and T76 controllers. GM is
implementing these new controllers faster than we can update our website
so if you have a new GM vehicle that you want custom programming for,
please feel free to send us email and have us determine if we can provide
it for you.
Tuning solutions from Trifecta
Due to high market demand, Trifecta has started releasing full tuning
solutions to a very select set of customers looking to provide tuning
for vehicles that there are no tuning solutions for. If you're a shop

We now have access to the LNF stage tunes from GM, but we've modified
them to work with the stock MAP and boost pressure sensors! Combined
with our "hide-a-tune" feature we can offer all the goodies from the

Thanks to customer feedback, we've released a new tune for all LNFs
that raises the bar once again. A Trifecta tuning exclusive, our new
LNF tune includes both "select-a-tune" and "hide-a-tune".
Select-a-tune allows drivers to switch between their stock tune and
custom tune *on the fly*. Imagine having 50+HP on demand at the touch
of a button! Hide-a-tune will keep nosy dealers from detecting our
custom tune!

LS4 throttle body, and water/methanol injection, and the second car
has a smaller pulley on it! Pictures to follow!
Custom tuning for stock Ariel Atom 2 PCM
Many Ariel Atom 2 owners end up purchasing another PCM from a regular
Cobalt 2.0 SS/SC just so they can do their own custom programming. No
more is this a necessity, we are now able to offer full custom
programming via our handheld or programming cable on the native Atom 2
PCM!

2.0 TC (LNF) Custom Tuning & More
Thanks to a local customer with a 2008 Cobalt SS/TC, we can now offer
custom tuning for the 2.0 turbocharged engine (LNF). We've been told
that we hold the record for the most amount of power out of just a tune
on these cars (we hit 301WHP/334WTQ on a stock 2008 Cobalt SS/TC - that's
a gain of 52HP and 74TQ). The LNF engine is an amazing engineering
accomplishment and we're proud to offer an equally amazing tune for it!
As with every tune that Trifecta offers, no ECM swap is needed, and no
relearn procedures are required (such as dreaded clutch-position learn).
Data logging support for J1850 vehicles in GT Tuner!
We can now "remote tune" any J1850 OBD2 vehicle (LS1, Gen III truck)

the 2.2 and 2.4, equipped with either manual or automatic transmission!
Data logging support for CAN vehicles in GT Tuner!
Due to the popularity of our custom tuning for the 2.2 Cobalt with turbo
builds, we decided to add data logging support to our GT Tuner. For customers
with CAN based vehicles (LS2+, 2007+ Trucks, 2.2L Cobalt/HHR, etc.) we can now
tune as accurately from 3000 miles away as if the vehicle were right in front of
us on the dyno! We are working on support for the data logger on the J1850 VPW
vehicles (OBD2 LT1, LS1, "black box" Vortec, etc.) and expect to release support for
it within the next 2 months.
EZ Flash "do it yourself" programming cable for sale!
Several customers have asked us about having the ability to
change the tune on their car when they like (e.g. go back to stock when going to the
dealer for service). In response to our customers, we now offer a programming cable
for purchase, called the EZ Flash cable, for $250. This cable works on any Windows XP
or Windows Vista computer with a USB port (and includes the required software).
Additionally, there is a discount available on tunes when purchased with the cable!
