Trifecta Install, Black Friday 2020

[Wlepse]

OMG...started update before 5, just checked and it is at 1%. I guess this will be done just before Christmas.

If your using Windows that’s never ending. Hate Microsoft, use iPads here. Never, never any issues.

Is there even an ipad Trifecta app?

I think the question is: Why would you risk infecting your tune by using Apple malware ?

 

[Holymoly]

Ordered mine Monday. Received the cable Friday.Uploaded the requested ECM info Friday night. I received the tune file this afternoon. The program upload took maybe 5 minutes. I'm digging the tune so far, but I may be the only gas miser person on the planet that appreciates the automatic stop/start. Wish it would remain activated with the Trifecta tune.

Whaaaat. I ordered Friday and it is now Sunday. I still haven't gotten anything

Is this thread to talk about cables coming in the mail and making fun of operating systems? It’s like a Buick dudes IRC channel.

Surprised some of you bought it after you complained about how “bad” the Black Friday deal was.

LOL, yeah me too. Waiting on people to do a walk thru. Hope to get to mine this weekend.

Ordered mine on Black Fri. Got my cable on Thur and sent in the required code to Trifecta Fri morning. Map was then completed by Sat and loaded same day. It took about 10min to reflash, which I then ran to the store to get a feel for the changes.
It's a night and day difference. The gears are held longer vs shifting prematurely, no more start/stop assist, and the overall power increase is fantastic. Lean into the throttle from about 30mph and the car no longer lags, but is in quickly in pull you over speeds. The sluggish response between pedal input and engine response is gone.
I got to drive longer and further the next day on the freeway and the added power/acceleration is impressive for a off the shelf tune. Trifecta did a really good job with the transmission tune as well as the power gains. Granted the TourX isn't a performance car, but with the changes it's a lot more fun daily and highway cruiser. The off the line improvement is hardly noticeable (probably to preserve the tranny) but once the car is in motion, the power improvements are obvious and well worth it imo.

Kunfuzion, great report. Will probably get a Trifecta next year after my warranty has expired.

I thought I read something about a Trifecta launch mode on the Regal facebook group. To set it, you have to turn off traction control?? Don't know if that was a joke.

Can anyone either confirm or deny this?

 

[Opietheopel]

Still haven't received anything. COME ON!

 

[Billib]

Feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. Got cable yesterday, sent email last night, got confirmation. Now waiting.

The waiting is killing me! Ordered on the 28th, shipped on the 30th, arrived in Cleveland (30 miles from my house) on the 4th and it's been sitting in the "Cleveland Postal Office Distribution Annex" and is listed as "delayed." UGH!

I’m having a similar issue. It arrived at the postal distributor (an hour away) three days ago and hasn’t made it’s way to me yet.

Might have gotten stuffed in with some ballots.

Give it another week. That’s normal.

Installed mine tonight. Have to go out of town tomorrow for a 125 mile round trip. In town and freeway speeds so it will be a good test run.

 

[runeight]

WOW! FUN!

What‘s next?

 

[Opietheopel]

Guess what? Still has not arrived
