    Hey guys had a few questions I just purchased a 2011 challenger r/t 6 speed transmission and I have already replaced the stock exhaust with flowmasters as well as added CAI. I want more performance out of my car and have been looking into the diablo trinity t1000 but the information I have been finding in other places is kind of misleading some sights say that I need to replace the chip since there is set limitations and other sights are saying that's a bunch of nonsense and just throw the trinity t1000 on my car and call it a day. I want to get the most performance possible without having to go into the engine. also if I purchase this what type of performance upgrade are we looking at in terms of how many horses or ft lb it will add. also once I install it would you advise putting it on a dyno or are they 2 totally different things?

    From my own experience the Trinity is the way to go. What "chip"?
    I purchased a Trinity and loaded the car with the 91 Octane "canned" tune that is already in the tuner. It woke the car up, I did not dyno it to get a HP gain at the time. But the seat of the pants dyno noticed a difference. About a year later I took the car in to have it tuned on a dyno, now that made a difference of approx. 10 hp, he adjusted the air fuel ratio, set the rad fan On temps properly as I had installed a 180 T-stat.
    Overall better performance and fuel economy when cruising as well.
