soo... im so stuck on what to do tune wise. you think its worth to pull the trigger on trifecta since its soooooooooo cheap especially when BNR has those sells. Ive been searching for places to dyno tune this car or for a place to take it on as a project but there are none in houston. I was hoping for a hidden guy to be silently doing this stuff hahaha

Wow, thank you! That means a lot! But you have no reason to be jealous! Your Camaro is amazing, and what you have done to your engine bay is awesome! I could never tackle a project like that

Think your best bet would be to save up for an IPF tune...if you buy the Trifecta tune unless you have an auto you won't notice anything really and will be wondering to yourself why did you just waste $300. That's just my opinion.

Well I am super jealous of your handy abilities...I don't think I would be able to rip out my dash and put in a new one or even install springs by myself...also some other nifty things you have done really impressed me lol

Save for ipf or run no tune at all. If you run no tune at all, you'll be saving 300 dollars and have the same performance gains as trifecta. Ipf or nothing in my opinion. That's from someone who has the trifecta tune.

I do have an auto. And thats what ive been researching the hell out of. IPF will charge me 550$ plus an extra 100 for the tune conpared to 300 in total for trifecta through BNR. Is it worth the extra money for probably a few HP?

freaking LLT motor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely tint. Texas is hot.

If you're going to do the spyder halos, I wouldn't do them for that price. If you're already at 550, why not save to 700 and do OEM RS halos. You can do the install by yourself. It's one of the simplest installs out there.

BTW, lowering the car won't cost you that much. Unless you're doing the install yourself. But good springs are 300 at least. If you have a shop do the work, you're going to pay about 200 for labor at least. And then you need an alignment afterwards.

I have 35% all the way around. Be sure you get a % you can see out the back window at night. If you go too dark, you're going to have problems backing out.

In all honesty from that list I would do tints first and then suspension followed by the halos. I have never been a real big fan of hex vents so that comes last for me and I think you should wait to do a tune until your officially done with performance mods since IPF does not include the free retunes if I am not mistaken.

Edit: just saw you pretty much have all the mods for a LLT short of cams or FI. So If you have the money I say go for the IPF after the tint and suspension
