0-60 Before:

0-60 After BBP 91+ Octane Tune:

I stopwatched it at a 0.3 sec improvement. The main improvement is in how this truck drives now. It's responsive, always feels like it's in the proper gear, and feels all around more athletic. Big ups to BBP.

Cool vids......2 MPG instant while doing the 0-60 haha. I also have the premium tune and it woke my 6.0 up nicely. Best part about mine is usually the kickdown going around 30 or hopping onto the interstate.

BTW- my old SRT8 Jeep did 0-60 in 4.3-sometimes its hard to believe how nice the tune actually is after having that toy for a few years.....

Enjoy it---and actually if you drive nice you will see nice MPG gains.....I was getting 21 MPG's on the way back from upnorth with some non-ethanol 91

Thanks JZ.

I do these for you guys enjoyment and to help people that are contemplating said mods.

I was babying it around town and saw a little gain on the MPG's but not much which was surprising to me. It may have been bc we switched it to AUTO mode (versus 2wd before) since its been raining a ton here and my wife was doing a lot of in town driving. I think the highway is where the bigger fuel economy gains will come from with the tune. We've been averaging 16 before the tune with varied driving, mostly in town. Going to see how the MPG's are this week.

Btw those srt8's are crazy quick. We're talking like 8-10 avg MPG's with those tho. I shouldn't complain about my Hoe's MPG's! Driving that and a Tahoe must feel worlds apart. I'm just glad the BB Tune at least helps my 5.3 feel like less of a dog. If I want speed that's what a srt8 is for I guess. Been kicking around the idea of an m3 but don't think I'm going to get approval from the wife for a decent one that I'd want. Lol

Btw I can only imagine what these tunes would do to a 6.2L. I'm trying to get my buddy to do it to his 07 Escalade he just bought.

@macho: Me neither. I had my 08 tahoe 5.3L BB Tuned and it was f'n awesome. I'm dying to tune my esky now...

If nothing is specifically requested, then we typically do 75%. Depends on the vehicle.

What are you waiting for bro?!

Im guessing you don't have the AutoCal? Otherwise that would be a quick and easy fix.
