Tune for 2011 Camaro V6

Hello , I was looking at Tuning my 2011 V6 Camaro Convertible and came across the Trifecta tune and the Overkill Tune. I dont have many mods done to my car but im just trying to make it more responsive. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a tune as well. From what I've read it would seem that Overkill is the way to go for the V6 - if you can get a hold of Will! I've sent a couple of emails with no response yet, but starting to think I may just buy the tune anyway and go from there. Maybe some $$$ will get me noticed

Ive seen a few posts about this problem as well. I may try and message him on Facebook to see if he replies. I was interested in his tune and maybe a e85 kit if he had one for a 2011. Trifecta has responded to my emails and told me all future retunes were free.

The only other tuner that works is the HyperTech hand-held, but has built in
tunes. Lots of options, and intake options. I have one, and don't use it, except
for reading and clearing codes. I had it for sale, but no one was serious about
buying it, so I took it down. I had it with a CAI, because I don't need that either.
I did tune it and it was a whole new car, with the 93 octane tune, but I just don't
need all that for a work vehicle. SO, it all sits... The factory intake and program
work fine for me.

There is no E85 kit for the LLT engine, but you can run it, I have. I also run a MIX
where I can get it. I will run 25% E85, and 75% 87 RUG. I ran ALL E85 with
that 93 octane tune, and wow... My tuned '08 Mustang loves the E85 mix too.
I put all my money in the Mustang...

I wonder if the 2012 v6 e85 kit would fit. Hopefully i hear back from will from overkill, Id prefer a more custom tune vs a hand held unit. The biggest thing i think that needs to be tuned is the trans and the shift points.

From what I read, the LFX E85 kit does not work on the LLT. That's what they keep
saying on the facebook groups. Also, you REALLY do not need it. The car
will run just fine on E85, I have done it. A TUNE will take advantage of it.


Here is the Kit though: https://www.phastekperformance.com/D...-p/dsx-lfx.htm


Also, that tuner is only for '10-'11 V6, and '10-'12 V8. You hook it up to the
PC to change between the two.
