I might be wrong but my understanding was that trifecta actually used the guy from pcmforless to make their tunes. I'm pretty sure I read that on their site. Agian I could be wrong

No experience with either of the ones mentioned but I did get a mail order tune. Had Ion at madtuner tune mine and he did a fabulous job. Couldn't be happier. Might want to check out his site if you haven't already. Just a suggestion.

Solomon does a great tune for the HOT cam. He got me squared away when I ran into some tuning problems. Easy to work with and does nice work.

See if Trifecta has a retune deal, some companies will charge less if you use them again to tune the same car.

I also had Ion tune for my hotcam, car ran great.

Yeah trifica run the normal price minus 15%. Might just do that. They were the ones I got my tune from last time. Real easy to do to.
