It came in the mail today and I never got a notification that it shipped. Ordered Wednesday and arrived Saturday. Very quick.

what are you Running? 1.8 or 1.4? I'm thinking of a Tune nothing too expensive as I wanna see how they work.

Hey guys, thanks for the purchases! It's odd though, you should have received shipping notifications. Those sometimes come from the warehouse so they may get caught by your spam filter.
Don't hesitate to contact us directly for support should you need anything.

I actually did get a shipping notice, but I didn't get it until the business day after I received the cable! haha

Very happy with my Trifecta Advantage tune
Just wanted to say how happy I am with my Trifecta Advantage tune. I have a totally stock 2012 LT sedan with 1.8L and auto trans. I never liked the way the trans shifted - very erratic, and the engine just seemed to struggle with acceleration. I also hated the overly sensitive traction control and would always disable it every time I started the car.
Now it drives like a sports car - the engine has a growl to it - I did not do anything to the intake, only the tune. My wife immediately noticed the improvement. It was always fun to drive but now it's REALLY FUN to drive.
I am pleased to say that my gas mileage has improved (as long as I don't floor it all the time). We just took a 450 mile trip and we averaged 41mpg where it previously would get 38. The mpg was improving while driving in the fast lane at fairly high speeds.
Thank you WOT and especially Michael for helping me through some doubtful moments.

PS. I'm 65 years old - fun is not limited to a younger crowd.

Yes, I do enjoy it quite a bit. The highway is where this tune is killer! Man.....serious get up and go. I diced it with an Audi A6 and he seemed a bit shocked he wasn't losing my little Sonic.......more fun by far.Great! You will definitely enjoy!

I've decided to get the K&N intake because I just read about cracking of the hose between the air filter housing and the intake manifold. I checked mine and there is a split big enough to insert 4 fingers into. Hopefully, that will explain the uneven acceleration that I have been experiencing. Everyone should check this - the crack is at the first "fold" closest to the filter housing.

I don't think so. I don't recall any options asking about a different intake. This is a question for WOT.

Well, I WAS pleased with Trifecta, until they got my money, and gave me a tune, and then I asked for the "Clutch Killer" tune, which I got. All was well until I had issues with the cable that connects from laptop to computer. I have emailed them twice, and never got a response. You can't call them, they don't post a number on their site that I can find. Hmmmm, wonder why? I have heard about the customer service issue, and didn't experience it at first, but once these guys get your money, watch out! I need to flash my car back to the stock tune, Trifecta locks them down with their tune, so I can install my 42lb. injectors and sensor for my E85 tune from Vermont Tuning. Brian there answers me WITHING AN HALF HOUR of me texting or emailing him. Trifecta is the holdup for me getting my car running the way is should! My opinion, check the guys out at Vermont Tuning, I have his aftermarket Garret turbo, which works fantastic, (Pushes about 26-28 lb. of boost, even without the E85!) even with the crap Trifecta tune I have now. Waiting.....Waiting.....Waiting....

There's all this green on the Vermont Tuning map? Where's all the buildings? Hahaha
Might check them out. Not sure I'm ready to do springs & pistons yet but cool to see somebody offering upgraded internals. The turbo though . . :banana:
