I just want to thank Jerry Barnes, all the rest of the people at Trilogy Motorsports, and Lidio as well, for the homework that all of you must have done while designing the Trilogy S/Cer kit for Marauders, as well as the engine tune that comes with the included chip of your S/Cer kits. I say this because, it has pleased me to know that after having tacked on 24,000 miles on my Marauder since I've installed the Trilogy S/Cer kit, I've never had to fuss with the engine tune at all. The car still runs great with the chip that was included with the price of your Trilogy kit, and the car has turned low 12 second quartermiles with that. 17 months ago right after I installed the kit, I went to a local Dyno just to get a Dyno TEST so I could confirm the power numbers at the wheels, and to check on the Air/fuel ratio ( a Dyno TUNE wasn't needed). And it was fine then, and has been ever since. Thanks a TON!!!! :2thumbs:

I will echo Billys warm and fuzzy feelings.

I am a very happy customer. Though my car has a smaller pulley and has been dyno tuned by Lidio.

Thanks!

I agree. I haven't deviated from the stock tune yet, and have been very happy happy with the results. It seems that "screwing" with the stock tune often yields undesirable results. IMO, you should get a full custom dyno tune, or just leave the stock tune as is.

The Kit in my opinion is fantastic, I don't have a chip, my tune is stored in my SCT 9100. With the exception of my 1-2 shift, I would say it is simply perfect.

Is this an actual "blue' chip or a hand held tuner like Xcal2? If it is a chip what would the cost be for Jerry to include an Xcal2 instead? Just a thought.

Jerry????

I have a chip. As far as I know, all the Trilogy kits come with a chip (unless they recently changed that).

On my kit #0098 I have a chip. I would call it a "daughter board". It plugs into a slot in the ECM located in the passenger compartment by your left foot.

Me 2.

I heard tell, an Ex cal 2 with Lidio's Trilogy programming, will be offered soon for an additional charge with the kit.

FYI,

I purchaced an Xcal2 from Lidio. He included my updated tune that was on my chip for no additional charge.

Why? Because the Xcal2 cannot data log properly without buying a seperate cable to connect to the computer. Basically, I had to pull the chip and flash the computer with the Xcal2 so I can data log.
