How's that tune?
Might be different for 2017+, all new motor. Coded LGZ vs LFX
Actually I just loaded it this morning. Only thing I can report is the trans shifting is way improved. Stock it wants to shift really early and tended to sit at low rpm in a higher gear when you are part throttle. Now it's nice and snappy and shifts at a higher rpm.
It gets annoying at times... chugging along at 2500 rpm at part throttle trying to pass. Then give it just a tiny bit more and it downshifts and jumps to 5500 rpm and rips. Thus far the tune seems to solve that.
The Trifecta tune is nice. It uses the cruise control to set the drive mode. So Leave the cruise control on (but not active) and you are in daily drive Eco mode. It shifts nice and will move when you get on it. Turn cruise control off and it goes sport mode and holds more RPM and really wakes up.
Where the fuck did these come from. People on FRF says this and a tune are absolute first mods but $300 for a voltage regulator/transformer, essentially...? The fuck?

People on the Ecoboost Mustang forums love them too and many people think it adds HP because the throttle is feels more sensitive.. lol. Its just changing the output of the throttle sensor so the ECU thinks you are at a higher throttle pedal % but on the Colorado I can see how it would help with the trans shifting and give it a more "By Cable" feel.
So on my way home today I took a couple WOT logs of the tune. Its commanding a leaner Power Enrichment to around the 11.8-12.0 AFR vs the usual uber rich 9.8-10.5 AFR stock commanded. Also the Timing table must have been tweaked because the truck is seeing 26-27* timing at WOT vs 24-25 WOT. This is on Premium fuel which I will continue to use on the truck. Its not required for the tune but will perform best on Premium and even on the stock tune I noticed more Knock Retard on 87 vs 93 octane.
I can't believe how many people waste money on those throttle trickers. Is it really that difficult to physically depress the pedal harder for some people? Like you said, they don't add any HP, they don't improve performance, nor do they improve quarter mile ET or MPH. Literally the most pointless 'mod' one can perform. I know a bunch of 2.0 turbo Camaro guys jumped on the band wagon and bought the Vitesse throttle controllers, and most chucked them after a few months due to issues with the part causing the cars to fall into limp mode!
You also might want to make sure that Trifecta doesn't change the checksum or part number. I've had several arguments with DiabloSport until they proved their tool didn't make the change. This link will give you an idea what a tech at a dealership can see on their screen related to tuning and the amount of 'flashes'.

Congrats on the new truck! I was hoping to check out your EBM, but that ain't happening anymore! FYI, Keith still has pics on his site from the 'modfest' back at your house circa 2001 or 2002!
These pedal things are just as much as tune as well... Makes no sense.
