V6ers, why did you tune? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

mydreamcar · 11-16-2010, 01:50 PM

I went to several dealers in my area and none even knew how do to it. Let alone want to touch it. The dealer right up the street from actually said to go get a tune from some one but goodbye to the warrenty. I am sure there are some dealers that know how to do it and will do it . You may have to keep calling. In the end I did a tune after I bought my SS tires and Rims from SLP and put them on my LS. I had better things to do than drive and call around til I found a dealer willing to help. Speed Limiter is gone. Of course I had other mods and ck engine light to deal with as well. good luck

I would think that if your dealer can't reprogram the ECU then they can't read it to detect a tune?!? Definitely don't have them buy a new ECU, that would be a lot of money.

does the trifecta tune affect gas milage at all? and what can i expect in terms of 0-60 and 1/4 mile with just some simple bolt-ons and a tune.

Take a look at the V6 fast list. I think all the guys on their with bolt ons (certainly the fastest) have a tune.

Does anybody know if this tune will be ok for emissions testing down the road .I'm looking to get rid of my cel and from what I heard vince at trifecta turns off the the rear o2's so that the code won't pop up ..can emissions see that and fail you ?

mydreamcar · 12-02-2010, 09:56 AM

Not sure what the laws are in your area but in ny I was able to pass with no issues . I had a cell come after an install of my hfc. The tune took care of it and passed with no problems. I am not sure if the tune turned off the rear o2 sensor. You should just ck with vince.

Yes you will be able to pass emissions. For newer vehicles all they do is plug in and see if your car is throwing any emissions codes, if it does you fail if it doesn't you pass. The Trifecta tune will prevent your car from throwing codes and thus will allow you to pass emissions.

Thanks, this helps me understand a bit better about what tuning is/does. Appreciate the elucidation, guys.
