Little Orange Monster, I need help making it meaner.

[TrashbagGhost]

How is it going folks, finally got rid of my old celica and upgraded to something a little bit more modern. Which means that.......

.....I am now the proud owner of a bone stock 2012 1.4 liter Chevy sonic, with a 6 speed manual.

Over the past month have been reading different threads, researching and planning out what kind of mods I want to put together for this little orange monster. But there is a question that I currently need an answer to.

Which Tune do you all like the best. I know of Trifecta and Diablo Sport, but I am not sure which one I should go with. I plan on adding a mid-pipe and cat back system as well as an intake from mfab, maybe a home-built roof scoop as well.
I want a tune that is easy to install, can be updated as I add on more modifications and has a decent amount of customer support. This is my first "modern Car" and tuning is uncharted territory. (at least for me). Thanks for the help peeps, I look forward to reading your responses.

Welcome to SOF!

I'll let others who actually have a tune answer about recommendations. In the meantime, post some pics of your Sonic.

Here is a few pics, I'll build a build thread once parts start showing up.

Yes, Welcome to the forum. Nice little monster you got there. Fuzzy navel on wheels. Without the fuzz, of course

Have fun modding!

Thanks for the welcome ya'll. This car definitely has a citrus vibe about it. I have the sneaking suspicion that BNR and ZZP are going to be taking most of my paychecks this year.

The drop in k&n has good results on my sonic. After lots of research its better suited then a cai system . No loud intake noise , but our stock basically already has cai since it feeds to the fender well and the cai system is in the engine bay just sucking in hot air.

Also has anyone tried the Kaylen igition coil upgrade thats on carid ? I talked to one of their peoples to double check that it wasnt just a stock replacement. They told me its a upgrade and add hp?
