Nice!

Can you post some pics up of where you mounted your trinity? I'll be most likely buying the intune but if there's a clean looking spot trinity it is.

Wow, nice numbers with the charger. I assume all three of these were with the catback? Did i read somewhere else that catbacks on these trucks don't make a big difference anyway?

Oh one other thing. The Trinity yielded you ~12rwhp. Did you use that also for tuning of the magnacharger, or was it tuned with something else? What were your torque numbers?

Thanks again for posting.

I never did leave the Trinity mounted in the vehicle, just tuned it and drove it around. Datalogging works great. I am now using SCT that came with the Magnuson. In my opinion the Trinity Diablo was awesome, very user friendly with good customizing capability.

Actually only the supercharger run had the exhaust installed. The other two runs had no other mods.

I added the torque values up top.

Also with supercharger we compared stock 17s to the 24s. Lost about 30hp and 15 Ftlb.

Thanks for the info. I was actually more interested in the tq numbers since that's where it feels my truck is lacking the most anyway. It's nice to see that jump with the Diablo for sure. Nice ride man.

Thanks guys.

I was impressed with the Diablo for sure. BTW, All three runs were 93 octane.

Do you know who from Diablo tuned your truck?

It was the built in 93 octane Trinity tune. No changes.

I drove around with the 87 octane tune for a few thousand miles. The 87 had a little spark knock so I datalogged and programmed the timing back a bit and it did perfect. Had control for WOT fuel and spark for 3 different rpm ranges, plus other stuff including shift firmness for each gear.

I originally wanted the Trinity only to turn AFM off, and it did. That is something the Bullydog could not do. Oh, and by the way, when I took my stock intake off to install the blower, there was a large puddle of oil I could pour out the inside of my intake. I first noticed the head ports were dirtly, then I glanced over and my stock intake had oil dripping on the concrete because it was at a slight angle. This makes me believe some of the crap I've heard about the AFM stuff. My mom has a 2011 and I may give her the Trinity to disable her AFM before she has problems. This oil burning may have actually been the reason the 87 octane Diablo tune had spark knock.

Yes, the cylinder deactivation. Active Fuel Management, or displacement on demand, or whatever you want to call it.
