Trouble with that is tuning and diagnosis. Real world testing is key to getting a tune to perform properly. Sending logs and tunes back and forth is quite time consuming. Totally up to you obviously, I recommend finding a good tuner with access to a dyno. Unfortunately with our LNF, that is more often easier said than done.

It's $415 for the tune with the cable, $400 without the cable. The cable is always included in the cost of the tune apparently. If you already have a cable then you just don't pay the shipping cost which is $15.

So my mods so far will be:
K&N intake
Forge BOV
Bosch GM stage 1 sensors
Trifecta tune (fingers crossed)

So on the 30th of April(Saturday) I purchased the Trifecta tune for $415 and today is May 9th(Monday) and I still have no tune. I contacted them on May 6th(Friday) and they said I should have it by the end of that day. Then they contact me on May 7th(Saturday) because I was one digit off on my VIN and apologized for taking so long, due to personal issues.

Am I ever going to get a tune done? I have my doubts
