Using Pedal Commander with Trifecta Tune

Has anyone used a Pedal Commander after having loaded the Trifecta Tune in their Colorado/Canyon ? I really like the tune and in "sport" mode the response is very quick, but wondered what it would be like to drive in "Eco" and the effect, if any, driving in "sport" using the PC ? Yes, I could try it, but hoped to hear other's experiences first.

Aren't some of the features redundant?

Trifecta says it creates "aggressive pedal response" and "removes the pedal detent for more immediate acceleration". Pedal Commander says it will "eliminate delayed pedal response" and allows incremental adjusting of the response. Those seem like very similar or redundant features to pay for both.

And I'm curious, I have no idea how either goes about their process, but would they maybe conflict with each other for trying to control and adjust the same features?

I have both. But I've also removed both.

unless fine adjustments are needed, it'll likely feel redundant.
Sport, as I recall, was already jumpy and eco was very tame. Adjustments up or down will only make sport more jumpy or eco too tame.

I had the PC for about 16 months when I installed the Trifecta tune, ran both for about 2 weeks. I removed the PC and prefered that tune alone. The Trifecta gives you the throttle response just like the PC does, plus you get the increase in HP and TQ, better shift points. You also can choose between ECO mode and PERF mode, ECO is throttle and shifting with near oem HP/TQ, Perf mode adds more HP/TQ and higher shift points. I have 4.10's and can smoke the tires from a dead stop if I want to, good tire bark on the 1-2 shift.

I was asking about the possible use of both as I find the (Trifecta Tune) Eco mode shifting to be almost perfect, but with the lack of power (back to OEM) unless you put your foot in it. The performance mode, on the other hand, does make my Colorado a bit "jumpy" although the extra H.P. and Torque are nice when you want it. I was looking for the feedback mainly for using the Pedal Commander while in Eco mode. I uninstalled my PC when downloading the Trifecta tune in case there was some conflict. Just the improvement on the transmission shifting has made me satisfied with purchasing the Trifecta Tune. In town the Eco mode is great, but there is that odd time when you want to really "go". Yes, I could change the mode to Performance, but just curious how the Pedal Commander would work with the Eco mode. I did take a 4 hour trip this weekend and the sport mode worked very well for me as I live in a mountain area. Two long, steep hills were easily driven over using the Performance mode and the truck was over 140 kmh (86 mph) going up with lots of pedal left. I couldn't help myself and had to try it. Based on the bit of feedback I got here, I'll just stick to the tune.
