Love my 2023 Traverse RS.......BUT

Beware of tuning - see post #7 here:

Yeah there is a torque difference between a 5.7 and a 3.6.
No comparison between the two with my 6.2 Silverado crew vs the 3.6 power wise but really it does get out of its own way considering it's a station wagon.
I've driven big block wagons back in the day and the current are pretty quick.

Yeah, definitely a big difference !! I am happy with the decision to get RID of the Ram for this Traverse. I guess I can deal with less power

Trifecta Tune

Just got my Trifecta tune finished on my 2013 Traverse LS AWD. I LOVE it! This is how these cars should run, from the factory! I like being able to turn it on and off, via the cruise control switch. As good as it is, it is very expensive, considering you don't get a handheld unit. You have...

Just concentrate on the increased mileage!

Omg, your right !!!!
🤣

If you (and your wallet) are committed to finding extra power... You would need to find companies that are modifying Colorado/Canyon/Camaro/Cadillac 3.6 vehicles and have them take the project on. The ability to tune is there, it's all about what they can fit on the vehicle and how much customization is needed (thinking supercharger here).

The wild card, and the reasoning I read somewhere for why Ford scrapped the 9 speed and created their own 8 speed FWD transmission after using their version of the 6T75, is that the torque rating for the transmission may not hold up to higher levels from forced induction.
