How is your Trifecta Switchable Tune Set-up?

How are your Trifecta Switchable tunes set-up? What buttons to access and what kind of tunes are you running with it? I am trying to get some ideas of home to set-up mine once Vince unlocks the launch RPM's.

I have the stock tune (normal mode and traction off) and then the infiniboost at 23 PSI is in Competitive mod and ESC off modes. I like it, (dyno #'s in sig) it pulls hard

What is the disadvantage of running the infiniboost tune all the time? Bad mileage?

^That and more wear and tear on the motor of course. I have the same trifecta setup as Ryro except I'm at 24-25psi. I love it and would def. recommend.

Thats what I was thinking. I would like a more conservative tune rather than the Infiniboost tune to help prolong engine life. I was thinking about spike 24 and hold 21-22?

Might be a stupid question but do you need to be stopped and in neutral or anything or can you just switch it while cruising down the highway?

You can switch it on the fly, I've done it several times.

Switchable tune cruise on stock, off trifecta
I had it set off traction control but find it much easier to turn on/off the cruise
Also with cruise off the Trifecta tune is on in all traction mods and with ESC off
one more reason I like it off cruise better

What is the Valet mode? With your infiniboost tune are you spiking at 30PSI and holding 24 psi?

"valet mode" is what I call the stock mode. It just feels slow. I spike 24-25PSI and hold 20-22 depending on the day.

Being that you have 2 tunes in the car w/ the stock and infi I do not see why not...Just email Vince about that. If you need the car flashed and do not wish to purchase the cable, let me know I have the cable and around 50miles from Vero
