I am getting a custom Trifecta tune tomorrow! I am curoius to see the gains. Has anyone had a 09 2.2 auto dyno tested with an custom intake and catback exhaust? I keep seeing old models tested with 143hp and 150tq, and I have an 09 with 155hp and 150tq. Maybe I can get dyno tested and post the results.

I didnt know trifecta could tune the new LAP motor. Isnt it more difficult because of the variable cam timing?

Good Question. I emailed the guy who is doing the tune for me. I don't think he ever asked what year my car was. He said he sent the tune to Vince. But, he may be wrong.

Well, thats a pretty up to date list. Good luck with the tune. Are you going for max power or giving up some for fuel economy?

Vince does all the tunes as Trifecta. Dealers and installers put them in your GM product.

I am getting my L61 2.2 on the dyno saturday, stock tune with an airaid intake. Ill see if they can give me 5min between runs to switch back to stock intake, but they dont usually go for that.
Not quite the same but Ill post up the results anyways. After that Im looking at exhaust and tune.

I just got tuned a few minutes ago, went for a drive and you can tell the diffrence right away. If you guys/gals in Arizona want to get this done, I would contact Andrew @ drewbroo@gmail.com he did a great job and customer service is wonderful.

I had my 2009 panel 2.2 (catback, airaid, headers) tuned by Vince, excellent job, my favorit test after any mod done on any vehicle is to check the exhaust tip to see if it gets black (to rich, burning extra gas), and mine is extra clean, second test is to check the plugs (lean or rich).
Results from the tune, way better on gas, auto transmission (less lag when getting onto the highway).
Next project, installing a LNF Turbo on the 2.2 HHR with a tune.

Did you guys get a wideband O2 sensor (UEGO) to go with the tune?
