Over the past couple months, I had the opportunity to try out two Trifecta Tunes. The first was done for our 2013 Chevrolet Sonic. Trifecta specializes in tunes that are sent directly to you via their website, then you do the rest on your own laptop. A pretty slick process that was easy and painless. With the Sonic, I run through the entire process from installation, to road testing, 0-60s, and finally some gas mileage testing. The Sonic is a great little car that is lots of fun to drive, especially now after Trifecta got ahold of the on board computer.

Trifecta sent out their 1.4L Advantage tune for our 2013 Chevrolet Sonic. I take you through the installation, give you some input, performance runs and even a highway mileage report. This is the most comprehensive Sonic/Trifecta review out there. Enjoy! www.TrifectaPerformance.com www.HoagiesGarage.com

The second vehicle we were able to "Trifecta Tune", is a 2014 Buick Encore. This is very similar to the Sonic, with the 1.4L Turbo, but heavier and more comfort based. The plan was to tune the vehicle, which belongs to my Mom, and put it back in her driveway without her knowing the tune happened. I will say, the Buick didn't respond to the tune as well, mostly due to Trifecta wanting to keep it like a Buick, which means comfortable. The weight is also a big factor, this thing weighs over 400lbs more than the Sonic! Overall though, it was more lively and noticeable after the tune. Watch the video below to hear her reaction and also to see us giving you the short version on how these tunes work.

I steal my Mom's Buick Encore to install a tune from TrifectaPerformance.com - She has no idea this is going to happen, so we'll have a little fun today and see if she even notices the horsepower/torque gains along with waaay faster shifting.
