Default went to the track yesterday

And I was kind of disappointed in my times. Last time I ran I had the mods in my sig minus the tune headers and ac delete. I ran the time in my sig. Yesterday with all the mods my best run was 13.368. Is this right?

I havent heard many great things about the trifecta tune, also it could have alot to do with the weather, and honestly your times are not that bad for your mods, but it should be a bit faster then it was b4

Different day, different weather, different times. You cannot compare the two.

If you are really curious look up the tracks DA on the days of the two runs then use an online calculator to adjust them both to sea level. That would give you a good enough rough comparision to see if it is better or worst.

I would get a new tune and you said it was 95 degrees out wich isnt the best. That alone could be a couple MPH with the weather!
Ive seen other cars with a trifecta tunes that didnt add any performance

you think a pcmforless tune would be better? or who else do you recommend for mail order? im almost at the point of just getting a cam and redo the valvetrain and having the guy that tunes cars around here do a dyno tune

A dyno tune will be the best, but if you go mail order Ion at Madtuner does a fantastic job.

What was the temp outside the day you got your previous #'s? Your et seems about right to me honestly. . . If it was a lot cooler when you went the first time not gaining any mph with your headers would make more sense.
