I will be Trifecta tuned within the next couple of weeks. 
2007 Cobalt LS Coupe
- Automatic Transmission
- Injen Short Ram Intake
- 2.25 in. MagnaFlow Exhaust
- ZZP Mid Length Header
- 2.5 in. ZZP Stainless Downpipe
- 2.4l Intake Manifold
- Ported and Polished 2.2l Throttle Body
- Tenzo-R Lowering Springs
- Bridgestone POTENZA Tires
The Balt can move. I would used a 2.4l tb but haven't come across one with 6 pins. My ported and polished 2.2l tb will do just fine. I felt a nice gain after installation.
What are some of you guys predictions/recommendations on how my car with its current mods will respond with an aggressive Trifecta tune? Thanks!

Well the tune is done now and installed..
What a noticible difference with the tune a 2.4 tb
my shift point is at 7300 rpm and its fine..alot more low end torque now and all the way through the power band, before it was sluggish from 0 rpm to 4000 rpm...also the top speed limiter is gone had the car doing 140 plus the other night...
Thanks for the help guys
mod lock it up

i have sc injectors on my 2.2 cammed balt...he said that i was towards the top end of the abilities of the stock injectors, so it wasnt a bad idea to switch

7500rpm's is the limit for our stock l61 valvetrain.
upgrade your valvetrain and vince would be happy to raise the redline past 7500.
On mine I think he set the redline to 7300. i shift @ about 7000.
If your 07+ running the E37 ECM, my car was the first E37 to be tuned from Trifecta. Still running like a champ to this day. Get it.
lol, on a side note. rode in my moms 2.2 auto sedan on Sunday.....wow, feels gutless compared to mine now. lol

Beside that wasn't a race...a race is a dead stop **** that rolling race **** thats for *****'s who cant race....
I like a race to be about the driver and the car not the other way around....
I would rape you on a dead stop run and you know it.....

I am untuned and will SSmoke the both of you from a dig and a roll. LOL!!
Just kidding, fellas. It's all about the driver. The car is a factor but when it comes down to it, it's a matter of which driver is more experienced. I beat a Stage 2 SS/SC from a dig but the guy wasn't a great driver.

stop with driver mod. i toast everyone here.
when you compare two engine, just a roll to x mph can confirm which one is better
if you want test driver go to track and not at a light.
here a real comparaison:

inside cam: shifting were very well done. no sound from the tires
