Black bear. You do t have to attend one of the meets. You can get their autocal. It’s also what I have. They mail you the unit and you log your truck data by driving it with included instructions. You email them the data, you load it into the autocal and program your truck.

So you get the autocal, log the data, send the data, then they send you the tune, download the tune on the autocal?

Yes! I am going to be getting one soon. I have been emailing back and forth with them. You also get free tunes for as long as you own the vehicle. Like if you get cold air intake, you may need to tweak your tune. It will be free as long as the truck is yours. Same goes for exhaust. Bigger tires. etc.

Exactly. On my Denali I have had the tune changed quite a few times- after headers, after a cam, after a blower. Plus I have separate tunes at home for my 22" wheels and my 26" wheels so my speedo is always correct when I swap tires/wheels. They'll also send you tunes for 87/89 octane or 91+ so you can decide if you want to burn premium or not. The autocal can hold a few tunes or if you license more than one vehicle like me, you can keep the tunes on your computer and move them back to the autocal when you want to load them in a vehicle.

We would be happy to help with a tune. As everyone mentioned we can provide tunes without you having to go to one of our tune events. Let us know if you have any questions.

Blackbear is great service. They were there every mod done to my truck starting from basic tunes for 89 91 e85 octane then tuned my truck when I installed a supercharger. When I bumped he boost, I sent logs of my dunk runs and they tweaked the tunes to accommodate more power. Not only did they tune the engine, but they tuned the trans for towing, sport haul ass mode.
I had tunes done for my truck for 17”rims for winter and 22” rims for summer. You can’t get that service with diablo
