Black bear? How do I get in touch with them?
Do you have someone there you recommend to talk to?

Like this: @BlackBearPerf

Anyhow, about that ad, they guarantee 60 horses. So, I could take my truck to the track, make a few passes to establish a baseline and then install their chip and should see 60 more horses reflected in my time slips...

Is that a question?
My original question was has anyone used that chip. I have not. Some mention Blackbear. I will contact them tomorrow and discuss my tuning options.

Those HP claims are bogus. BB is a custom tune unlike a canned tune and they work with you on what you want to do. They also change trans settings like torque management, shift points, etc so the overall change is much better and you end up with a vehicle that’s just way more fun to drive as well as the performance gains. Plus it’s a lifetime tune so if you change anything they will retune. They’re a preferred vendor here, you can find them under the performance sections or at www.blackbearperformance.com.

Talked to black bear performance today. 500 is a lot of money for a program but what he said it would pay for I guess I can choke it down with some BBQ sauce on it.
