For the amount of tunage you get and power and more efficiency $200 is a steal, especially if you have mods and have yet to get a tune. Only way to really awaken your ride. I remember back in the day it was around 300 for a tune so get one when you can

I remember paying $300 for my tune also, but the difference I got was outstanding and way worth the amount of money I paid. I ended up putting down 325/402 with my tune.

****,I paid 425.00 from hendrik chevy in monroe nc and the cut the damn o-ring on the map sensor.Those guys had my car for two days but part of it was replacing my valve cover gasket for the warranty. Tom from crate engine hooked me up for more o-rings though,GREAT GUY. Im getting 20pounds of boost and loving it! I would gladly pay more to just have it up to 23psi

He could probably give you a safer, more aggressive tune.

$200 is definately a steal! i paid $350 for my tune from trifecta and would love to get retuned with hptuners. but im gonna wait til i get either the ZFR turbo from ZZP or the s256et. it wont happen for a while unfortunately since im savin up for a weddin in july then deployin in september for 6 months.

HPTuners for sure in my book, trifecta is ok but HP seems to be easier to get and works great. Plus it seems trifecta almost like dealer trash, I mean flash. Its like a one size fits all and too much work because you get it through whomever and then have to log and send them the log and they adjust where you can put a base tune on with HPT, drive and do some pulls. Park, make adjustments and go again tell satisfied. I just say that about trifecta because I have never heard of someone being personally tuned but having to go through a company.

Thanks for the good advice! Thats what I need.Last year I got ripped of by carolina cat for $23,000.00 for an inframe that didnt need to be done.If they were just honest to begin with I wouldnt have to shell out that kind of money within 3 days.That still didnt fix the problem,inded up being a stopped up heater core.

HPTuners has been proven to have better power gains than Trifecta.
