That's a great question. and I'm looking forward to an answer. I've read all the benefits of an aftermarket tune, especially after adding components (headers, intake, etc)
Stock police tune (unique in itself) already feels pretty impressive to the butt dyno in that it's not "just another Tahoe." That's one reason why I bought a PPV vs. a Standard Tahoe
So why change and has anyone done it?

Step One- Black Bear Performance Tune
Step Two- Open a Beer, look at your Tahoe and enjoy the enhancements!
Many will agree that Black Bear Performance is the ultimate way to go as they tap into the true potential of our trucks and extremely reputable.

I didn't know ppv's have a different tune then civilian rigs. This also goes for the nbs also? I can guess top speed is taken out, but what else would be different?

SKID PLATE Front Underbody Shield Starting Behind Front Bumper and Running to 2nd Cross-Member Protecting Front Underbody and
Oil Pan

As you see, no difference in the way of HP increase etc Engine wise other than the top speed fuel cut off hits at 125MPH as opposed to 95MPH.
This was a long and heated debate between guys who bought used P71 Crown Victoria's vs Factory HPP Crown Victoria's as they swore the P71's had a "Special Police Tune" when in fact they don't other than a higher MPH fuel cut off, shift firmness improved and better shifting points. NOTHING in way of HP increase vs HPP models.

Black Bear Performance is custom tuned to your liking, they are not a "Off the shelf" tune like most handhelds. Check out Black Bear Performance for more specifics.
