i believe that's done simple with the Cruise Control button. i know some people that have done the HPTuners/Trifecta mix tune from BYT and that's how it works. turn on the cruise control for bone stock tune, turn it off for fun tune.

in all honesty that's the only cool thing about going with a Trifecta tune tho. you'll get better results by having someone tune you with HPTuners.

Vince could be emailed to find out if he would do a cut-rate tuning where nothing is done except to level the fuel trims. If not worried about warrantee, I stand by my original assertion. Run the parts desired and find a local HPTuner to log the vehicle. If car happy, keep money in pocket. If car not happy, see if they'll level the fuel trims for less than the cost of a Trifecta tuning.

This is true. I've been running dejon hotside, cs intercooler and a catted dp for months on a stock tune and I hit 18psi now in 3rd and 4th above 4500 RPMs on the stock tune. 14–15 psi otherwise

Ok thanks a lot guys, all of this info has been really helpful, especially from ATLsilverSS and Joe Schulte!

After reading your comments and looking into everything further, I am really liking what Trifecta has to offer. I'm going to send an email to Vince now to discuss things further.

I really appreciate the help, guys! It may take some time, but soon enough this will be one BAD SS!!

Also note, being in Chicago depending on which suburbs you're about 3 hours away from ZZPerformance.

I started Trifecta "budget" and now I'm HP/dyno-tuned through them.
