Trifecta Tuning Discussion 2.0 SS
Tom, I have read through this entire thread and still can't tell if there is ANY advantage to having the the GM (stage) tune prior to getting the Trifecta tune?
If not, why does GM feel that the new sensors are necessary?
Also, sounds like power adders like exhaust or IC/piping really don't make a difference in power output? Am I missing something?

esmarkey: You got it backwards. Tune is on when Cruise button is not ON. Push cruise control button to turn stock tune back on.
If you leave cruise control button ON, it will stay back on ,every time you drive the car. When you get the urge, "the need for speed" you turn Cruise control off. Is that clearer now? "Moon"

The Trifecta Tune is installed in Vinces HHR SS 5sp without the stage kit and is set on the OEM sensors. That tune alone will get you the results of the 315 HP. Just remember you will have to upgrade your clutch to use the Higher HP tunes, I remember Gmando has upgraded his clutch or mentioned that to me.
-Tom, sorry to keep asking ??'s but, I'm debating adding the Trifecta Tune over my GMPT, and won't purchase till I feel comfy.
How long does the boost hold @28, the reason I ask is I thought the ECM had a saftey net of no more than 25psi for any longer than 3 seconds. I may be wrong, but I tought this saftey feature was in effect regardless of tune, or tunes. Also, the 28psi was that registered on the dyno or guage?
