Post by Robisonjon2891 »

is there a way to get more then 16 horsepower out if the trinity 2 with out taking it to a shop and getting a custom tune. i read somewhere it would give up to 90 horsepower.

what vehicle are you asking about?
Gains of 90 HP sound like what we offer for the 3.5 ecoboost on premium fuel.
Naturally aspirated vehicles can't see gains like that with tuning....

Yeah, to gain something like 90 ho would require more than tuning there, you'd need to swap the heads/cam/exhaust, and even then it would be tough to find 90 hp. Really adding a blower or N2O is the most realistic means of adding that kind of power.
On your truck, the gains from the tunes are worth 20-25 rwhp on premium fuel.

No, those are the gains for the Diablo tune.
You can seek a custom tune to try to get more out of the truck with tuning specific to your truck and needs.
