Installed the Trifecta tune tonight...

and man what a difference. I really couldnt believe it at first. I uploaded it to the hhr and went for a spin. I did the dual tune on the cruise control because the wife drives it also. I didnt think about it when I Installed it, but I had just came home of the interstate so I already had the cruise control engaged. So, when I first took off I watched the boost gauge and nothing happend, it went to 15 psi and felt the same. Then, I thought about it and and disengaged the cruise control and stomped it in 2nd and good god, the little grocery getter took off. I looked at the boost gauge it it went all the way up to 25 psi and at the same time noticed my wife slam back in the seat and say "holy sh1t". The car is a little beast now. I am going to take it and get it dynoed with the stock tune on and the Trifecta tune and see the difference. If anyone is on the fence, do it. Its the best 300 bucks I have ever spent on any of my cars. I has a supercharged 2007 civic si sedan and there is more of a difference with the Trifecta tune than the 4k dollar supercharger. I love it. Sorry if I sound like a kid a christmas. Just cant wait to leave tomorrow.

that's what happens when you spend money to mod a honda. just kidding. I'm not a big import guy but my friend has a 08 si that's stock and always wanted to race me on my stock tune. didn't do too bad from a 60 roll but anything lower especially a stop he lost quite a bit worse(on my stock tune) neither one of us wanted to worry about racing me on my tune. on the tune in full street trim I ran 13.66@105.

Here is my race against my buddies stock 08si and i just had the stage kit. Now i have the stage kit a bigger intercooler, intercooler piping, 3" turboback with no cats or resonators and a custom HPTune haha. All i have to say is that an aftermarket tune is DEFINTELY worth the money

Dont' forget we have the base tune that you can tune with the hp tuner for more power.

I believe it, I have had a high 11 second mustang and a mazdaspeed6 that went 14.1 and the little hhr would smoke my mazdaspeed for sure. I am going to go to the strip pretty soon. The si was a fun car, but not this fun.
