The stage kit opens the window to play with other turbo setups and the tune as the replaced sensors would have been a restricting item....

 

The SS with the stage Kit is at about 285 HP. The Trifecta tune when installed brings the HP to over 300 HP depending on the specific mods. Vince's HHR SS is set to close to 325WHP in a stock setup with some adjustments that I cannot discuss (trade secrets). If you SS has the stage tune, the Trifecta tune on that will bring yours up to between 300 and 315 WHP. Getting more than that requires first a better clutch and other mods.

 

I'm assuming those numbers are for the 5sp correct? If so any idea what the tune would bring a Staged Automatic to?

I was the guinea pig for the auto tune and it is well worth the money. I have the Trifecta tune on top of the stage kit and it gives a great boost in power. I see about 6 more pounds of boost over the stage kit. The car is a beast on the tune. 0-60 is a blink of the eye and 50-100+ is amazing. It just keeps pulling hard. The horsepower needle on the RPD pegs at full boost.

I take it that the auto tune is completed?

 

Yepper It is ready and raring to go as Bernie Explained.

Thanks for the input Bernie.

 

"Beast" "Blink of the eye" and "Amazing" are all fine but do you have any dyno data to provide numbers that support this level of enthusiasm. I'm also interested in shift point parameters.

 

Arn't shift points programmable to the owners preferances?
As is a few more parameters and features ......

 

Shift points can be adjusted by Vince. If you have specific shift points you can put them on the order form. Vince maximizes them according to the tune. After installing your tune, you have a chance to request some adjustment if you need it.

If you have a Auto you can elect to run the stock or custom tune as you get one for the engine and one for the transmission. People with a standard transmission only use the engine tune.

 

I'm in the process of putting in the Trifecia tune, in a stock, except for muffler[no GM turbo upgrade, no aftermarket mods to engine].
I have flogged the stock setup, so I know how she runs, all to way up to max.
As soon as I get the tune up and running, I'll post the results, and maybe even dyno it.
