start with blackbearperformance.com

its the best $350 you are ever going spend man! I shit you not!! After I got mine done, I was pissed that I waited so long to get it done

Its a custom PCM (powertrain control module) tune. Justin changes the timing, shift paterns, rpm range, torque managment and so on... optimizes your vehicles performance peramiters.

the best mod you'll do to your rig, plain and simple :)

Couldn't have said it better myself.....

When I first heard about BBP I was kinda skeptical and I didn't believe all the hype. This past summer they had a session in NJ and I figured since that was going to be the last time in my state until sometime in 2010 I figured what the hell and I signed up. Ever since the drive home which was about an hour I have a new love for my truck. Everyday im happy to drive it and nobody I know can believe how my 5000+lb truck hauls ass like it does.

All I can tell you is don't second guess it and do it ASAP!

Can they tune a 2009 GMC 6.2? I saw where he is comming to the Charlotte area in the next couple of weeks. That only a 100 miles or so from my house.

We're also planning a Norcal tune early next year but I have a question. I run 24" wheels and plan on taking them off for the winter. Is it best to have the wheels on when collecting the data for the tune?

Stupid me, I thought it was a trained animal working on your truck, jk. CUSTOM tune of the ECU. Well worth the money as many people have stated and by far thebest upgrade to bring the motor to life.

Granted, I was spoiled by driving JK's truck around but I never imagined just a simple computer tune would make my big ass truck move so nimble.

so does anyone have any idea of the gains in terms of HP? or is it not so much HP as it is shifting and responsiveness? also, would a K&N air filter constitute an "intake" even if it's still in the stock box? or would getting an open element CAI style be better?
