Question New Trans AM Owner/Anyone Tuned with Trinity Tuner?

Hi,


I have been recommended the Trinity Tuner several times. Well, after doing research on it, i have found that most people are getting a great performance after tuning with this device. But, people are not really giving good detailed information.

What i want to know is this. If anyone has done the tune with the Trinity with another WS6 and can see a performance in the tune? Know what changes where made with the tune such as, What horsepower and torque was increased or any other information.

I own a 2000 WS6 LS1 Trans AM. Only mod i have is Exhaust.


Thanks,


Fr0sT

Funny you put "thanks, Frost" Frost is a sponser on here who does mail order pcm tuning. If anything...send your pcm to him. I did...

Well, i have other plans for the tuner as well. I plan to tune my fiance's car for better gas and some other friends cars. It is also a good monitor tool to pin point some overheating in areas and things like that.

The Trans AM is my everyday drive car. So, i would like to have the tuner to tune per say when i race it and then tune it for better gas if i travel a far distance. Would it just be best to take it and get a tune and just be done with it?


Yea, i know frost is a company. This has just been a nickname i have had for a long time. But, i always spell mine different and sign it as Fr0sT.



Also want to say i took it to the drag for the first time. It was also my first drag i have ever done. The best time i ran was a 1/8 at 9.1. I have been told for stock this is a good run. Does it seem like a good run to any of you guys?

FWI you can only tune 1 car with most if not all handheld tuners. Even when a tuner supports multiple vehicles it can only be used on 1 of them. To use it on another car you have to reload your stock tune onto the car it was first used on.

So, even though it tells you that you can do multiple vehicles. It will still only tune one vehicle?

Hmmmmm, according to the research i have done on the trinity. You can tune multiple vehicles. I believe i will just give Diablo a call and ask to make sure. That way we will not just sit here and guess in a constant loop.

But, it is looking like i will just take it to get tuned and be done with it. Also, would you get better gains in hp and torque by just doing a non handheld tune?

Thank you guys for taking the time to post. It is helping me get a base for learning and putting me toward a direction to start with.
