    the ported heads usually yield about a 3lb loss

    well im getting tuned by area but....since trifecta was on my car bryan said that my vin has been nuked and it won't let me upload the tune. says vin and os are not valid or match... i had my trifecta tuner flash me back to before i had trifecta and then we were able to get my vin and code but it still won't read for some reason... we are thinkin that something with trifecta is still interferring but not 100% positive

    anyone know what we can do to get this to work

    If your trifecta tuner didnt check the "Force full flash" option when he flashed you back to stock, then there may be something lingering behind.

    I would actually ask your (trifecta) tuner to get you the HPT-enabled tune from Vince and flash that, since it will be HPT-compatible already. Less work for you. Check my post in your ss.net thread for a little more detail.

    Definitely not. Sometimes you just have to know how to finnesse it. If all else fails I will fix it for the cost of shipping both ways but I sincerely doubt it will come to that. Just let me know if you have any questions. I'll help you get this fixed.

    Do you have HPT on hand? Can you PM me an infolog? (http://www.hptuners.com/help/demos/infolog.swf)
