Well that was kinda helpful. Could you elaborate more? Like what changes you make ( 10 them vs. 50 you ), what needed changing to make vehicles run right before tune, what kind of power could i expect. Also fuel, the tuner allows you to run regular gas not just premium, also can change whenever. Not saying one is better than the other just trying to make an informed decision. Thanks for the response.

What you are asking will vary from vehicle to vehicle; HP and MPGs will depend on driver, modifications, and gas (octane and quality). Some vehicles need 50 changes, some need 100+.

Depending on the year/engine you have, you might be needing to run 89 octane even on stock tuning (something GM doesn't tell you). Can you run 87 with the tune? Certainly, but you may have knock, and lower HP and MPGs compared to others.

With the AutoCal, you are able to change tunes on the fly. Many folks like the AutoCal for this reason, as well as the ability to return to stock for dealer visits.

Best part about it imo. Dealers always screw it up....

Thanks for submitting available times for Sunday...I do appreciate your flexibility with days and times - helps make scheduling a little easier.

Confirmation emails with your designated time slot should go out this Friday or Monday of next week at the latest.

We received quite a substantial number of new deposits for this meet over the weekend.

Therefore, we had to adjust our schedule and create some new time slots. That being said, a new time slot email just went out.

Please let me know if you did not receive the updated email so I can resend.

Reminder: confirmation emails with everyone's designated time slot will not go out until Friday of this week or Monday of next week.

Thanks!

Question, if I want an 87 octane tune can I still get the sport mode done with the tow/haul button? Or will I need to get the autocal for that. Is there a big difference in mpgs and hp from 91 and 87 tune, like 2-5 mpgs more on 91 and 1-3 on 87?

 

[JennaBear]

You will have better results in sport mode with a higher octane, both performance and MPGs.

Really the increase in HP and MPGs will depend on the quality of fuel, I would recommend a minimum of 89.

 

[Pachanga02]

Sounds good, ill go with an 87 tune since it is my daily. Will I still be able to get the sport mode with tow/haul button? What are some benefits of having an autocal?

 

[JennaBear]

Yes, you can still do sport mode. Why wouldn't you want to run 89 on your daily? I run 91 on my daily.

The AutoCal allows for you to receive any tune updates (if you add mods etc) via email. You can then flash the tunes on your own and switch them out as you please. It also will read/clear codes and has the ability to tune a total of 8 vehicles.

The autocal is awesome and I would recomend it to anyone. Soooo easy to switch tunes...

 

[Pachanga02]

Sorry I meant to type 89, but I just filled up and put in 93 so what the heck I'll just do a 91 tune. I'll see Justin Sunday.

Re: Black Bear Performance Tune, Bridgewater, NJ – April 6th Wknd, 2013

I used to run 87 but when you really look at it 91 or higher is usually .30 cents more per gallon. So 20 gallons x .30 is $6. Its only $6 and your vehicle is gonna run better and get better HP and mpg's as well. Its gonna pay for itself(lead foot aside ) in the long run. I only run 91-93 now. Justin can tell you whether the quality of gas you are using is ok as well. I had to switch to sunoco for better quality gas.

Spending the extra money for the autocal is sooooo worth it. You can run your own diagnostics and pull your own codes, change tunes on the fly, and return it to stock if you need to go to the dealership. Trust me, pulling my own codes is worth it IMO.

Phil your right that's why I went ahead and just put in 93. I may do the autocal later on. To pull codes I just borrow my friends scanner. But For the ability to keep the scanner and run diagnostics it is worth it.

Had my Tahoe BB tuned and what a difference! Justin was great , answered questions and gave suggestions etc. You won't be disapointed.

The autocal is easy on the PC. Just follow the instructions and you should be fine. Honestly, if your not sure, hit up Jenna and she can walk you through it. Glad you enjoyed the tune and it definitely is worth the money.

Had my truck tuned today, Justin is a great guy. Great response from the truck. I notice the difference right away.
