Just noticed Hypertech release a programmer for the 2016 GM's mid-size truck with the V6 3.6L.

http://www.hypertech-inc.com/PerformanceGraphs/GM/2015_2016_Colorado_Canyon_3_6L_Power_Graph_D.pdf

So, with 3.42's gear and 255/65-17 tires, the stock 3.6 push the Dynojet rollers to a max of 250 whp@6,500rpm and 230 wtq@4,100 rpm's.
Manufacturer engine power claim : 305hp @ 6,800 / 269 tq @ 4,000.

Drivetrain loss: %22 in hp and %17 in tq.

Witch I find ok, especially with the big tires and all Hypertech test are done with two rollers (one front, one back).

Always nice when company's provide dyno charts. Personnaly, if I had a GM mid size truck with a V6 3.6, I would go with Trifecta. TRIFECTA presents: Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon MY2015+ Powertrain Calibration Reprogramming - Articles - News - TRIFECTA - Home - WOT-Tuning.com

Just info for u's out there,

Cheers

I Overkill Tune the Colorados and Cadillac ATSs with Diablosport tuning products. Big difference is I can provide custom tuning through their handhelds, my own tunes plus datalogging capabilities, where with something like a Hypertech you get what they provide but no customization available for modifications.

Will,

I know exactly what you mean with a can-tuned programmer and you get whatever it's loaded with. My 2010 Dakota has a Hyperthec Max Energy, I'm happy whit it, but, like you mention, pretty much stuck and limited in what you can do.

I'm surprise you do offer a program for the GM twins mid-size truck, but my main goal was to show all 8th and 9th Gen Impala owners that the LFX is a great engine with a tune, and by keeping it stock, they are leaving a lot of performance on the table.

I will be ordering soon more stuff from you. by for now and see you in the new year.
