Need more help

Not sure if this is the right section.
I have more questions lol.

Where do I find my VIN for when I order trifecta tuning?
Is it easy to trifecta tune?
How long does it take?

Im ordering my parts from Crate Engine, ZZPerformance, and TurboTech.
How long does it usually take for them to send the parts out?

1.) The VIN will be on your insurance info but easiest place to find it should be on the car. The drivers side right above the edge of the hood.
2.) From what I have heard its not something that anyone couldn't do.
3.) I'd imagine the upload is fairly quick, it may take some time for you to perform the necessary testing on it and get back to the tuner. Maybe a week? Ask Vince.
4) Dunno bout the shipping, ask the vendors :P

I have not ordered the tuning. I don't know too much about it but I believe you'll need to do a couple of pulls and send data back to the programmer. I would contact Vince and ask him for a full rundown

exactly. you load the tune onto your ecu, drive around for a bit and then upload your data to vince, who retunes a little and sends you back your new tune if changes need to be made
