Ok there is a local guy selling a diablo trinity for $350 but after some talking he can do $250, and there is frost which is $150 plus shipping or a local friend from a club has hp tuners,


My question is, what would be my best bet to tune my car? the best for the money what would it be? thanks

Wow, a Trinity for $250 is a heck of a deal.
Ideally you'd benefit from some custom tuning with the mods you have, maybe do the Trinity and a custom tune?

well does it work with f bodies the trinity? i mean it looks cool and all just not sure because i have to still pay for the custom tunning

yes, the trinity supports your vehicle.. Mike@Diablo has the same car as you and uses it on his

The Monte man speaks the truth

hey guys what should i look into when buying one? its used can it get looked with a vin or something? don't want to get screwed

06MonteSS

yes... if the seller did not restore the original backup stock tune to their vehicle, then it will still be locked to their vehicle, and you'll need to pay to have it unlocked/reset....

you have to make sure the seller has restored the original backup stock tune to their vehicle...

I managed to pick up a hp tuner pro for 400$ without credits. You can use hp tuners pro no matter what mod you do... You can tune everything 100% your self. It's not hard to learn but just takes time

06MonteSS

100% sure? you can't, until you get it, heh...

you can ask them if they did... and also ask for screenshots from Options - Show Information and Show Last Tune Written... it will show in there if it's still locked or not and if he restored the original backup...

of course, that doesn't mean he can't do those, and then after that go and install a tune to his vehicle again, heh...

If you pay $250 for a locked trinity, then $179 to unlock it, you still came out waaay ahead.

Not to be a dick here but you will be alittle silly not to go with frost ! He had tuned every car i have had and everyone in the next 5 countys ! He follow up service is second to none! And he wont be happy until you are happy ! Amazing guy !

Yeah i really want frost does he use hp tuners? Its cause my friend has hp tuners locally and i had a question, can i use his hp tuners even though he already used it on his car???

You'd have to buy a license for your buddys HPtuners to tune your car.

Then you'd have to visit your buddy anytime you wanted to flash your vehicle...

Yes, Frost uses HPTuners. If your buddy has HPTuners, then Frost can tune your car via email without you even having to send in your PCM. If your friend doesn't have the unlimited year license to cover your year car, then figure $98 for the HPTuners license, plus whatever Frost charges to email tune your car. Keep in mind that once you buy the 2 credits to license your VIN, you can tune your car indefinitely without ever paying again.

Frost helped me dial in a buddy's 500+ rwhp Z06 via email using some datalogging and re-flashing that some "pro" traveling dyno tuner hacked up to death. He also helped me figure out (after I got my own HPTuners setup) what a local dyno-tuner butchered up on my own car a few years ago...

Search around and you'd be hard pressed to find anything negative said about Frost. Like said above, he's not happy until you are, and ironically he's cheaper than any handheld tuning device out there...

HP Tuners is a good way to go if you want to go to the trouble to learn how to tune and control a lot of variables. If you don't want to be a tuner, the Diablo can provide more pre-made tunes, as long as you are okay with pre-made tunes!

EDIT: I believe he is kinda busy his auto replay kicked in but Im sure he will contact me assp

Frost is the man. He has tuned all of my cars. He will get back to you. Just give him some time. He is fairly busy most of the time.

HP Tuner all the way if your local guy knows what he is doing.
