Just signed up for the Tune event in Chicago. I have a 2009 Tahoe with 6.2. Can't wait! Anyone else local sign up?

I've had blackbear tune in my 09 6.2 Tahoe for almost a year now, and all I can say is you're in for a real surprise!! The difference is night and day, and running on E85 is even better. I almost wish I could do a live tune event, but they never come to Colorado. I'm sure there aren't enough people here to warrant an event in Colorado though.

Which tune are you using to run e85?

Honestly, I don't know. I send them files, tell them what I want, they email it and I download it to the autocal, then into the Tahoe. Beyond that, I don't know specifics, just that it hauls ass, haha. I don't have different tunes for different days, so far I've had their initial tune, then after a few months I sent another file while running E85 and asked for a few adjustments, as well as disabling the A/C when I'm heavy on the throttle.

Hmm. I was curious about this and have had a few short conversations about it. I am under the impression that when you run e85, the truck reverts to different tables and you're really just using the TCM part of the tune.

If you see me running, I would try to keep up.
