Tuning
I am about at the point where a tune is the next step in mods. I have read a lot of peopls reviews/thoughts on here and know some of them I should shy away from. I would really like a in-house dyno tune, I know that would be best bang for the buck but as far as I can tell there is nobody near me that does this (I am in western NC).
So for mail order ones, I am looking at Tri-fecta and ZZP. I have basic bolt-ons, intake/dp/exhaust. My car is a '17 and automatic. What are you thoughts on one over the other? |

I personally am not a fan of tri-fecta due to their lack of communication. I have reached out to the several times for information and was never replied to.
If you're looking for fantastic customer service and want to go fast without going broke...Go to ZZP Steve, Matt, and Tyler will ALL help you in any way you need without taking your first born child

Vermont Tuning is the only tried and true Remote Tune. RPM will blow you up, ZZP will get you deplorable gains for what you pay especially with a 17+ and Trifecta well xactly what others have said about communication.

I can second or third the point about Trifecta, although they did respond to my inquiries, it felt like they just wanted me to go away and leave them alone. Never a good sign and an absolute dealbreaker if it's done to prospects (I was seriously considering their tune).

That is sad to hear, especially for something like a tune where you may be having to get re-tuned or tweaked in the future with other changes. All local places i called are v8 camaros only, you figure Atlanta would have at least 1 place that wants to deal with the ltg. I had not considered vermont, i saw there page but did not see too many posts on here about them or results with them.

Cooper used them they aren't mentioned a lot because you pay for what you get and everyone wants cheap.

I believe startthemachine here had a good experience with trifecta, but that was a local in-house dyno tune they did. Still, I don't ever recall him having any problems with trifecta as far as communication goes. ZZP has a lot of satisfied customer reviews on their site. Just in the review section for their tune, there are like 25 positive comments, and about 2 negative, one person saying it wasn't as much power as he was expecting, and another saying they had knock and nobody replied to their emails. Yet many other reviews state communication was prompt and professional, so...you gotta think something weird happened there.
Trifecta also has lots of positive feedback. Why not give someone a call, tell them about your car and see what they say? |

You need to remember two things OPs car is a 17+ and automatic so lot more involved then a simple 16' M6.

BNR just made their canned tune publicly available after 2 years of testing. The reviews on it are very positive so far. It's $$$$... though.

I have not even heard of BNR before. But looking at it, the price looks the same ballpark as trifecta/zzp. Once I throw '17 on there goes up a little. Does anyone on here have their tune?
