Trifecta Tune For Nitrous? Other Options? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

sixt3denied · 07-14-2015, 01:10 PM

Looking for a tune for 2012 V6 Camaro that will pull timing for Nitrous. I see many users are running a Trifecta Nitrous tune. I'm wondering where you purchased your Trifecta tunes from.

I don't want to "mess" with tuning myself - so I am guessing that HP Tuners is not really an option.

Also looking for other options. Would like to be able to only pull timing when i'm planning on using the Nitrous.

IPF told me they could make a tune for me that pulled timing. Wondering if anyone is running an IPF tune with Nitrous.

Any suggestions - contact info on a tuner etc would be greatly appreciated.

Do you plan to daily drive on the Nitrous tune?

That's kinda the issue. This is my daily driver. I will not be going over a 100 shot. Only thing i'm really looking to do is retard the timing when spraying.. Else i would like the timing to be normal when not spraying.

The way they tune it, the timing is pulled whether u use the Nitrous or not. When not using it u will notice its down on power. Some have experimented on ways around that, u will need to see whomever tunes your car knows how to tune it to only pull timing when the system is armed

I use Trifecta tunes for mine. I got it straight from Vince about 4 years ago. His tunes seem to be leaning more towards the safe side of things and not trying to squeeze every drop of power out of the car. I had the NA tune before I got my nitrous kit. So I just had them make a second tune (cost me an additional $100) for the nitrous. Usually I use the NA tune for daily and throw in the nitrous tune when I go to the track. After the last time I went to the track I left the nitrous tune in and really don't mind it daily driving. It is a little down on power due to the timing being pulled, but not bad. I am sure there is more to get out of the car if I had it tuned through HP or IPF on a dyno, but for an easy to use tune I have been happy with it.

If I stick with a 75 shot, is it really necessary to pull timing? I know its recommended, but is it really necessary?

Only real way to answer is to make a pass and see if knock retard is present.

Knock knock
Who's there
Engine damage

^^^^^ Just my strange sense of humor, no harm meant.
Get a tune save more money in the long run and a A/F meter.

^^^ You forgot the ZL1 fuel pump
Than I added a stand alone fuel cell with pump & regulator.
