BB Tune - another satisfied customer

[Narco]

Met Justin in Brunswick Fri night and got my tune. Saturday was the anniversary so the wife and I mad a weekend trip to Savannah out of it. Justin was awesome, very friendly and accomodating. It's definitely worth the money if you're on the fence about getting one.

I went with the 93 octane tune and turned my tow/haul into a "sport" mode. Ran it to damn near 100mph in 2nd gear...she's fast now! BIG difference noticed when passing slow traffic, better throttle response, firmer shifts, and moved my top end limiter to 160...like I'll ever see that!

I did throw a code the next afternoon. Had Autozone pull it - P0403. It's either gonna be one of my cats or an O2 sensor. Justin called me right away. It was probably on the verge of going anyway and driving like a madman after the tune might have pushed it over the edge. I did reset the battery and the code is gone for now so all is well.

All in all I'm very happy with the tune and with Justin's customer service. Go get one!

how about normal driving and straight acceleration? notice any mileage difference?

 

[01yukonslt]

lol i think hes only had it like 2 days the mileage isnt gonna be very good for his first week or two i know i would have a problem stayin off the skinny pedal after a mod like that

 

[redemn93]

ya i thought about that after i posted lol

 

[Narco]

yeah, its gonna be awhile before i can post any true differences in mpg gains or losses. straight acceleration is definitely quicker. normal driving you can still notice it has more pep and firmer shifts.

Hey Roger, I'm glad your pleased with the outcome. I too was very pleased at the power difference.
Problem however is you will be very ******* the kick down for a few days after the tune. I too went with 93 Octane
Justin was a very nice guys and really made your truck set up to whatever you wanted.
How many times are you gonna go up behind somebody around 65 MPH and then kick down 2 gears and overtake them on the highway?
I do it all the time and LOVE IT!
Especially with the Magnaflow and CAI!

^ exactly! 06 - unless you tow alot id recommend having your tow/haul made into "sport" mode. the 93 octane package is ****. justin will walk you through it!

jd- i put my BB sticker in the same spot you did but i got the black one. black lettering on 5% tinted glass...very subdued look.

Is there an actual increase in hp?

Sounds awesome. Would love to get one done. Don't think I can afford to fly him to Alaska just to tune my truck, though....lol.

You dont need to fly him. Check out his website with options for him to send it to you

he explained that the 93 tune was anywhere from 35-45 HP over stock

I like to learn more about the BB tune. Is there things you have to do to your vehicle first before having it done to get the most out of the tune? What is most getting tune wise? Seems like i read a lot of guys like the 93 octane package tune. Does gas mileage improve or hurts a little with the hp gain? Webite link i seen only showed one page for there website. Is that it for there website? I read on some threads on the tunes but is there a really good post ot posts listed on here about getting a tune done and the different ones to choose from? Cost?

Let me add this. I got a tune up two months ago, but only had the plugs and wires done at the time. i needed my yukon back before he could do the complete tune up. I had him complete it on Sunday. He cleaned the MAF, changed my belts, cleaned the TB, poured a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the tank and then ran a bottle of it under the hood. I drove it home and noticed a huge difference in my acceleration and take off speed. I went home and put in a drop in K&N filter. Got on the hwy to test it out and I just started smiling. The increase in power and the sound coming from under the hood is awesome. Now I can only imagine what a CAI and BB tune will do. Can't wait for Justin to head back to Texas or close so that I can schedule a tune.
