Trinity == Crap

I bought this $600 brick three weeks ago from Maryland speed only to learn my C5 has too many mods for the Trinity to tune it. Moreover it's not compatible with my 07 Hummer H2.

So basically you can buy the thing to tune your stock Camaro, what good is that?

Well, with mods, you really need a custom dyno tune. You can tweak with the Trinity, but the basics are not enough. You can store and restore your stock tune...well...anyway. Custom tune...

Oh, I also have a Trinity

did you not do the research prior?

programmers are only useful when you have simple bolt-ons with stock internals. once you get cams and superchargers, it is best to get on the dyno.

if you just have intake exhaust and headers, you can get a custom tune on the programmer from someone like JannettyRacing or 06MonteSS.

Yep, sounds like you did not educate yourself before you bought it. Can't blame the tuner for that.

Sorry you are not satisfied, but there truly is nothing keeping you from getting a custom tune for the Trinity to make your car run perfectly.

What you have is a very simple combo compared to the some of the vehicles I have seen flashed with a Predator or Trinity....
