Havingpioneered tuning for the Cruze when it was released in 2011, and having owned and modified multiple Cruzes, we along with our customers have enjoyed, cumulatively, potentially millions of miles with our calibration in various different environments across the world.
These cars are used to develop our finished products via a combination of long-term street and dyno tuning, and are also used to ensure we can support any of the many available aftermarket parts for the Cruze. From intake and exhaust components, injectors, intercoolers, and aftermarket turbos, we test it all and validate our calibrations before they reach our customers vehicles. This method ensures the quality and reliability of our products, and allows us to offer competitive pricing no matter the complexity of a build. We are dedicated to offering the highest level of service and support to all of our customers, before and especially long after the sale.
With our TRIFECTA Performance calibration, your Cruze will respond much more quickly to accelerator input, and automatic transmission shift patterns are optimized for maximum performance and responsiveness. During "everyday" driving maneuvers, the vehicle feels very much like it did from the factory, but rolling into the pedal quickly reveals a vehicle that wants to GO. Attentive, but without being "twitchy", power delivery is linear and transmission shifts are purposeful.
For vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, No-Lift-Shift allows the driver to quickly execute a shift without lifting their foot off the accelerator pedal. This allows the turbocharger to continue making boost, thus maintaining power through the shift.
In Sport mode, upshifts are more purposeful, and precisely timed progressive downshifts enable a more sporty feel while remaining closer to the correct gear for more of the time for quick transitions to sporty driving.
Using professional grade industry-standard telemetry equipment, TRIFECTA has also established proven gains of up to 2.25 seconds in 0-60MPH acceleration times versus the factory calibration through power gains, throttle ramp rates, and shift schedule optimization.
If your car is stock, or has certain modifications which "just work" and do not require tuning, you can simply plug and play with our "canned" tune. Advantage customers receive full customer support for as long as they own their vehicle. Custom tuning is not offered at this tier, and the price reflects it. It is a great entry level option if you want to get the most potential out of your vehicle with just one mod!
I bought this calibration to fix the janky shifting of my stock Chevy Cruze. I was extremely pleased to find the tune completely smoothed out the shifting and the car feels much more comfortable. The car no longer hesitates when changing from low to high speed or high to low speed and does not throw me forward in my seat. To add to this, the performance gains are much higher than I expected them to be. My Cruze feels like a completely different car. I have no idea why the stock tune on the Chevy Cruze was so bad but trifecta did a wonderful job fixing it. The tune was very easy to install and only took a couple of minutes. Trifecta support was extremely helpful and always answered my questions completely in an incredibly fast manner. While I cannot speak to the quality of the other tunes, I can say Trifecta is an incredibly easy and professional company to work with that made this process go very smoothly. 300 dollars is certainly a lot of money to spend on a Chevy Cruze but I can say with confidence it is worth it if you plan on keeping the car for a decent amount of time. Overall I have zero complaints with Trifecta and I would recommend the Cruze tune to practically anyone who has the money.
Very happy with the product easy to use and has been used for about a year. I highly recommended this company and will say their costumer service is very helpful ... great price very cool thanks a lot trifecta
Wow! I love this tune and it is most certainly the best money I have ever spent on this car. Shifts are lightning fast and with the touch of the cruise control arming switch you can easily and quickly switch between driving modes. You can feel a difference in the power, merging onto the highway is super easy with this tune. Low rpm torque is improved significantly and turbo lag is seriously reduced. The shifts are so smooth it is crazy unless I am watching the rpm change I will not notice when it shifts its so fast its unbelievable. As many others have said "the difference is night and day" and it is most certainly worth the money. I will never return to stock, buy this now and you will thank me later. I drive 25k+ miles every year and this tune has made me LOVE driving this car, its so much fun to drive. Thank you Trifecta!
Customer support was great. The tune overall made the car a little more responsive. Wish that it was a little more then just you get what you get. I'd like to have had a little more to control myself.
Amazing, easy install. Let me just say this. My gas saving 2012 Chevy Cruze eco was 12 seconds 0-60. Simply downloading this tune and adding a K&N cold air intake, I now run 0-60 in just under 8 seconds. Not super fast but it made my vehicle a lot more fun to drive! When you have close to 200 hp and only about 3,000lbs of vehicle that has an extra low profile to the road, you will be more than tempted to take a 40mph off ramp on the expressway at 90mph no problem, if you have good tires. Great product
I am very happy with my advantage tune, it really wakes the car up. The throttle feels much more responsive under all conditions and it pulls so much better on the highway without lag. The shifts on my automatic are much firmer and quicker too. I have a 2012 with the only mod being the cruzekits v2 pcv fix kit.
Adds stupid amounts of power considering there are zero mods to my car! It drives like a totally different car now, smooth, immediate shifting, and I'm getting well over 30mpg when I was, at best averaging 26.1mpg previously. You can have your cake and eat it, too!
Wow is all I got to say! If your on the fence about this tune DON'T be. The customer service is top notch, they are very prompt about replying to emails and are very helpful with all the questions and concerns you have! Just flashed the car this morning and the difference is night and day! On sport mode the car starts to break the tires loose in 1st and 2nd gear and has so much more acceleration! In stock mode the car is doggy like it was factory. This car will be a lot more fun to drive now, thanks trifecta! Also the only modification to the engine is a aem cold air intake.
Definitely worth dropping money on this tune. I was definitely skeptical when when deciding for going for a tune, especially because it'd cost me around $450 CDN, but man; the difference this tune makes is incredible! The increase in power is noticeable right away and the car actually pulls really hard, especially from first to third gear. Driving on the highway is a completely new experience and I'm amazed at how responsive the throttle is at highway speeds. A gentle tap makes the car go and I literally never have to floor it to merge or overtake someone.
In terms of support and service; I ordered the tune from Toronto I got the OBD2-wire in two business days which was faster then I expected. All my questions were answered promptly and I was sent my calibration two days after I sent them my transmission info. I'm definitely very happy with the service I received.
I've had my Trifecta Advantage tune in my 2012 Cruze since October of 2015 my car has 136,000 miles on it and over 70,000 has been with the Trifecta tune. I am impressed with the amount of power gain there has been with the tune. No more downshifting up hills , when you give it throttle to pass it gets up and goes. Transmission shifting is faster and at better shift points. If I was to buy another Cruze this would be the very first thing I would do to it or any car Trifecta tunes. It really makes the car fun to drive you can really feel the power gains, like when you push the throttle to the floor and run down an on ramp that little 1.4L just giving you all that power it should of from the factory all day long. I am very happy with my purchase and don't regret it one bit !
I'm gonna be very honest here with my review. If I see a tune that is too good to be true I normally dont buy it, but I had to try the Trifecta tune. I can honestly say I'm very glad I did. The difference between stock and tuned is night and day. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't of tried it. I can say, I wont be returning back to stock anytime soon lol. I love this product and I'll let all of my friends know to get it asap. Thanks Trifecta for giving my Cruze RS some power!!
I have been driving my eco cruze with this tune for nearly a week now and everyday I am stunned at the difference in pick up. It's like driving a new car. Every gear has power, even 6th gear - which has always felt useless. Now I can pass people in 6th gear. I love this tune. Gas mileage is still great too. It really woke the car up. I will recommend this site to every chevy owner I know!
My '12 Chevy Cruze LT-RS has now incredible HP and Torque performance thanks to the TRIFECTA TUNE. I would have never believed it, but my son talked me into buying it. I'm more than happy I did! thanks for a supurb product...
Just reprogrammed my 2014 chevy cruze, and I have to say I'm impressed! This tune is great! Throttle response and power through the whole rpm range is amazing, as is the shifting of the auto trans. Car was fun to drive before, but now it is even better. Was so easy to install, and the results are way better than I expected. Thank you guys for a great tune!
This tune is amazing. The increase in power is night and day. Very easy to install, and the Trifecta support team has been very helpful answering any questions I have had. The only thing that I think would improve this tune, and get that last star, would be if the Trifecta team could improve the lag time on takeoff. It still launches close to stock and I was a little disappointed in that. Overall though, BUY THIS TUNE!
