up in the air about a trifecta tune...thoughts please - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2012 2ls.

I have MRTv2 and rotofab intake. That is all.

What will a tune do for me? And is it really worth it. I have read some many posts that say it is a great and read one post from 2011 that said it was pointless. And that post has me on the fence. I would enjoy the gains but it is not a major concern. I just want to make sure when I buy something it has some kind of point ?

thanks for the response. I love hearing others opinions on here since I am not a "car guy".

With those 2 mods, I'm not sure I would get a tune. Money might be better spent on ported throttle body.

KMPrenger · 02-16-2013, 07:54 PM

The 2010 and 2011 use a different ECM (a Bosch) while your 2012 uses a Delphi which is easier to tune.

You would see nice gains with a tune.

Turnaround for the tunes is usually no more than a few hours to a day now. Well worth it.

Turn around for me with Trifecta has been at most a Day. I bought mine from Trifecta direct, I email and get a reply within a day from Vince.

Some of you need to lay off Vince, He's always done whatever I needed. I did not go through BNR so I really don't know about their turn around time.
I've got the 93 tune for the Vararam, Ported/CNC Throttlebody and between the Three I'm very happy with Nightmare.

I will stand up for Vince(Trifecta) and Tracy(RX Performance) they both have Excellant products, and if you have a problem all you have to do is call them.

I ordered mine on bnr website saturday. Decided to pull the trigger and see how it goes.
oes vince do all tunes no matter where you get it from?

Transmission tune for an automatic is a real nice. I have the Trifecta, didn't do the ghost cam as I don't have an aftermarket exhaust.

Camaro Carbone · 02-19-2013, 04:31 PM

How long does it take for you to get your order from BNR on average?

I don't remember exactly, but it wasn't long. 1 week I think.
