How many people out there live near Birmingham, AL Atlanta Ga, and Nashville, TN and would be interested in getting a BB tune.

If we can get enough people maybe we can get an In Person tune and save some money.

Go with the autocal. Well worth the extra cost IMO. You can revert back to stock anytime you want. Plus you can sell the autocal device if and when you decide you no longer need the tune. That alone covers the additional cost. I've seen them sell around $200 and people will be lined up to buy it from what I've seen.

Thanks Drew.

I noticed that your tint is 35% up front and 15% over factory. I was thinking about getting 20% over factory and 20% on the fronts. How do you like the 35%, is it dark enough from the outside?

I did 35% b/c legally I couldn't go any darker here in FL. At least that's what the guy told me. If I could, I would go darker, even as low as 15%. But you can see in for sure. I really like the rear. Makes a big difference but it does get hard to see a little at night. And I do not have a windshield strip.

Instead of the strip I am going to get Llumar Air Blue 80 on the front windshield. It is supposed to reduce heat and some glare while still lookin stock so the Police don't bother you. I may go with a strip in addition, not sure yet.

If you plan on an air intake and exhasut do it before the tune, at least thats what i did to get the best tune out of the engine. i just need to tune it adn i hope I will be set and not want a supercharger. I feel my 5.3 on my 07 is weaker than my 00 silverado.

Experience has nothing to do with popularity. :think:

Im saying I'd go with who has the most experience with these vehicles.

Been doing my job for 11yrs, I'd say I'm experienced, but I'm not popular. Lol.

I'm sure both will do an excellent job. Just a matter of preference IMO. BB provides great service even after the tune. I've had mine adjusted a couple of times and they always came thru. I went with BB b/c of their reviews and longevity. Throw a dart and go with one.

I'd be down for a BB session. I thought about attempting to organize one earlier tis year but I don't have the best patience lately :lol2:
But I could possibly talk my 2 buddies into it. 2 of us have hoes and the other has a silvy and he's been wanting a tune anyway....but they may not want to spend the cash either :chicken:

I do believe that Julie already has a BBP Georgia meet slated for this Fall. Based on the verbal interest already, looks like it will happen in ATL.
