[Foxbox]

Force Engineering is having another Dyno Day/Car Show.

Their shop is located at 165 10th Street, Plainwell Michigan 49080.

They have a Mustang Dyno in house. It's $60 for 2 pulls. Dyno sheets will be printed out and given to vehicle owner.

They'll have hot dogs and chips available for everyone.


I'll be there putting the Sonic on the rollers to see the gains of my downpipe. So if you want to come hangout or put your car on the rollers check out their Facebook page here:

Cool, definitely would be nice to see another Sonic.

Right now I am back on a stock tune, so not really an point in getting it onto a dyno. trifecta needs to get back in the game and start responding to customers.

 

[Foxbox]

Yeah it unfortunately took a long time for me to receive an update as well.

I cant even get a response from them about some issues I am having. The car drives and pulls better with a stock program right now. Seems a bit counter productive since back in the spring I was apparently making 159 HP. Per my UG, it was within 1-2 HP when Trifecta told me I was making 159 HP, I am only making 117 HP on the tune now. Stock program is showing 130ish on the UG. So far it was blamed on hot weather and low octane. Well, weather has been cool lately compared to the summer and I always run 93 octane. No response from them since I explained what was going on and that I do fill up with 93 and not 87 as was suggested.

Hmm yeah idk man. Good luck with figuring it out.

Thats why I am back on a stock tune now. Im going to try and make it to Fatmans this weekend, so not risking the performance tune leaving me stranded some place.

Dude that sucks. Have you tried other methods of contacting Vince? I've had issues before where I'd be converseing with Vince thru emails and then Blamo, nothing from him, ever.

Apparently he'd got a new email. I'd hit him up once after that on a different email and got a prompt response.

 

[mitdr774]

I have tried both Vince and Steve. Steve responded once and then disappeared. My suspicion is that they do not really care to actually support the 1.8 tunes since it is a fairly limited market. I could be and hope that I am wrong though.

As much as I hate to say it, I am tempted to put everything back to stock and just deal with another stock vehicle. Drive it till it dies and then get a new car. That might be a long time though.

Try PMing Smit, RDSS, or even Vince (Pre). I'm thinking and hoping there's just a disconnect going on right now. All of them have been in the know with Tri/Vince as fara I'm aware.

I like Trifecta but I do have to admit they seem to have a disjointed method of response. I'm thinking and hoping It's just an issue with them getting stuff, and not an ignoring problem.

I have talked with Smith about this. I have also had conversations with others that do tuning and they seem to be about a 50/50 mix of having issues vs no problems at all.

I have checked with HPT to see if they will at least think about supporting the E83 ECM in the Sonic 1.8 cars. Still waiting for a response after providing the information they needed.
