Also, the low-end power for everyday driving is better; it really improves the dead zone under 2K rpm. Throttle response is better in the low rpm range, too. They claim the calibration is good for 22 whp and 8 wtq peak gains, and they have the dyno sheet to support this; as a caveat, they used 91 octane for their tests so if you use regular, your gains are probably going to be, here's that word again, negligible. |

I've never had any issue with shifting in touring or even in sport at low/part/high throttle. Shifts are smooth if you want them to be.
Now, when you are aggressively driving and trigger performance shifting mode, then yea, you may be caught off guard with how the car behaves, but this is not unique to the trifecta tune. It just may be triggered more often since you're gonna want to drive aggressive with the car. And any attempt to check your 0-60 will trigger it around that 60 mile an hour mark. There is still a tiny remnant of the issue the car has where you just stopped and and are going to turn (like onto a cross-road) and the car doesn't shift properly (like it's not in 1st gear or doesn't respond to peddle travel properly). But this occurs far, far less than the stock tune. With the tune (i have the option to enable cylinder deactivation when in touring and off for sport), you can still easily drive calmly and retain all the high mileage abilities of the lgx (my best 50 miles is over 40mpg). disclaimer: I also have axle back exhaust, cold air intake, and ported throttle body and only use 91 fuel. I've had the tune for well over a year now, and the car is 2 years old. |

I just got back from a road trip to Scottsdale and on the way back I averaged right at 30 mpg; now this is with 80% of the driving on I-10 and I-5 where I'm doing 80+....not exactly loafing. The fact that I can do that while averaging 30 mpg (I finally fueled up after going 525 miles on the tank) is mind-blowing. The fact that it is quick also is like having your cake and eating it too. Shoot, it's really only 2-3 mpg off my old 2016 sonic 1.4t, which is nuts. |
