If you're going to Trifecta for the tune have the performance mode set to cruise control on. Most people will only turn cc on to use it and shut it off when they're not using it. That could mean she will never know.

A tune will certainly make a very noticable difference in midrange torqu and power available for a given throttle input. The beauty of the Trifecta tune is "select-a-tune" that allows you to switch between an ECO and Power tune via the cruise control button (or stock tune & power tune if you request it).
So depending on how you request you tune, pusing the cruise on/off button (you don't actually have to have the cruise set) will swap between the the power and eco tune. As long as your wife isn't on the power tune she will be none the wiser.
Depending on how your wife drives ie. If she drives with the cruise on all the time then set you tune with ECO tune on when cruise is on (this is defualt from trifecta)
If she only activates cruise control when she actually engages the cruise or never uses it then get the Tune set up for ECO or Stock with cruise off.
If either of those options sounds like it would work then she will be none the wiser. As an added plus you will have a huge grin everytime you drive because all the extra power

Just tell her the computer finally "broke in" and unleashed the full potential of the engine.

It picks up boost so much better after the tune, the first time I got on it it felt like a game of slap box that turned in a street fight.

If see puts gas in the car you will have to tell her what octane to use
Not with a Trifecta tune.........
Does VTuner offer that feature?

That's cool, Trifecta allows you to run anything you want with their tunes or be optimized for the octane rating that you actually use and is currently working on getting the GM alcohol sensor installed and incorporated into the Sonic's to run anything from 87 to corn. Can you email VTuner and see if they have plans for that? Are they capable of even doing this? Or multiple tunes on one program? Or can they tune for BOV's?
