Is the trinity worth the extra money? I am debating between it and the intune. My car only has an slp lm2 exhaust. Eventually I will prob get headers. I never track the car I just like to push it hard on the street. The trinity gives some 0-60 times, 1/4 times and other stuff. Is it worth the extra money for all that? Thanks!

 

replied to your email you had sent earlier about this...

thanks!

 

On screen gauges, gauge alarms, shift lights, virtual drag strip, yeah...its worth it

 

As a non-vendor/seller/forum sponsor, I will say that IMHO it is not worth $600.

I don't personally have one, but I debated between the InTune and the Trinity: I wound up going with a resold InTune at less than half the cost and am relatively happy with it. IMHO, the features of the Trinity are more of a "Oh, that's neat" kind of thing that will quickly lose interest - unless you're the kind of guy that wants a doo-dad mounted on the dash to display a certain guage (or shift light) for hoots and hollars.

For being able to upload tunes, tweak a few parameters and to datalog your vehicle - the InTune gets the job done at a much more affordable price. Just boils down to what you really want to do with the device.

I will say they seem to sell a lot of them, so you might want to check out Amazon.com reviews or do a google search for post-purchase thoughts from real consumers.

 

I have found that our track customers are not as interested, but the guys who do want to see the difference in their tune for themselves first hand and do not race do like it, and the extra features are nice.

 

Yeah, lets be realistic...

If you were planning to fill your interior with $1000's of dollars worth of gauges, the $600 Trinity suddenly becomes an incredible Bargain. If you are simply looking for a device to transfer tunes to/from your PCM and do some occasional logging/code reading, the inTune is the tool for you

 

What's the price comparison? The trinity does a lot but just as far as tuning goes not gauges and 0-60 times and 1-4 mile times doesn't the intune do just as much?

 

$389 for inTune, $599 for Trinity

 

Thanks!! Still haven't made a decision yet

 

have to say that I did own a trinity.

As for the $600 price, IMO, is high.
Remember the trinity is good on a whole host of vehicles. I bought mine, to use on a 2011 GS, from a Jeep dealer for $500.
I am not saying don't buy it, but look around. Use your computer to search for the best deal.

If you are wondering why I sold mine, well, I decided to start doing mods to my car and didn't want to have to flip through so many screens to get things straight, not to mention I really didn't get into most of the things it could do. In the end I went with a pro tuner using HP tuners, and my mod list is still growing.

 

Ok man thanks for the input can the intune do as much as the trinity as far as just tuning

 

as for the difference between the two... I actually have both the inTune and Trinity for my car... engine tune wise, the tunes are the same... parameter adjustments, they're the same... trouble code scanning/clearing, they're the same... but the trinity has more features... and I also like the Trinity better for data logging - the logging is better, and since it has a windshield mount (like a gps), a bigger, color screen, so it's easier to go through while it's mounted... you can watch/view the data without having to hold it, since it's mounted to the windshield... there's also an available gauge pod mount adapter for it, so if you have a gauge pod like on your a-pillar, you could mount it right in there with the pod mount... the inTune does not have a mount, so you have to hold it or put it on the seat next to you - kind of defeats the purpose if you want to watch the data while recording it - you'd have to hold on to it and hold it up in front of your face while driving haha, it's a little harder to figure out and find where the parameters are to log and select/deselect, etc... the Trinity will also get an update in the future that will allow you tune more than one vehicle at a time with it...

again, these are MY personal preferences... other people like the smaller intune better (it's the size of a credit card), and having to hold it or lay it on the seat may be no big deal to them... but for me, for my personal preferences, I like my Trinity better...

So, it's up to you :-)

I sell both the inTune and Trinity programmers, and I also offer a package deal for them that includes my custom tuning at a reduced rate, so you'd save $$. Here's info:

inTune:

Trinity:

and with the custom tune, you'll gain even better/quicker throttle response & acceleration, stronger/harder pull, smoother & quicker power delivery throughout the rpms, etc... and sometimes, maybe even a little better gas mileage - if you can keep your foot out of it! hahaha...
