Saab Aero Tuning

[richmonti]

I wanted to pass this information on as I now have an 08 Saab Aero which is essentially a Trailblazer SS. For the few that own a Saab (only 554 total vehicles made in 2008 and 2009) its not listed on the Trinity vehicle menu. Since the TBSS is a covered vehicle I decided to try the TBSS menu to see if it supports tuning with the Saab. I am pleased to report that it works perfectly. No hiccups at all with saving stock tune or loading the canned tune. All parameters worked without any glitches. I loaded the Diablosport tune and was rewarded with a significant improvement in power and drive ability and also gas mileage on my 70k vehicle. What was even more impressive is the "slip-bang" 1-2 shift is gone and the other shifts are much nicer as well. I have my TCM set on Hard shifts and Torque Management set on -20. The shifts are much cleaner and quicker but not excessive in any way. (However I should disclose that I also drive a supercharged Jeep SRT8 with a Paramount racing transmission which lets you feel the head rest or shoulder strap with every shift so your impression may be different than mine.)

Glad to hear it.
I have worked with a few other customers that have tuned similar Saabs. Not sure if we'll add it as supported but clearly it works well
