Black Bear Tune vs AFE intake

[KJG84]

Which would you recommend if you had to pick 1??

I may end up doing both but for the time being I can only pick 1.

15 Tahoe LTZ 5.3L. Looking for increase in HP/torque as well as MPG( if possible??)

I’m pretty new to this stuff ( a few CAI’s and Dinan on cars) so any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks and stay safe out there

If you can only pick one get the tune.

Tune, no question.

intake isn't going to do diddly but make it sound different so......

what say you @BlackBearPerf

Let’s say in a few years when I get another Tahoe/Yukon (‘17 or ‘18), would I be able to simply plug and play the Tune to the new vehicle, or do I need to send it to Black Bear to be re-tuned?

one of the reasons I was leaning towards an Intake was the ease of transfer from vehicle to vehicle.

You’re going to have data log and send it off to blackbear if getting a new vehicle

You will have to purchase a new tune when you change vehicles, the tune is tied to the VIN. It is a lifetime tune which means it can be upgraded when you make changes to the vehicle and it’s transferable to the new owner but not to a different VIN. But an intake won’t do much for you, not enough to notice.
