BlackBear Performance Tuned 08' Burban

[THE YETI]

I have been really busy so I haven't had the time to post an update, but...

We had my wife's burban tuned by Justin in person at the Charlotte Tune a few weekends ago. Let me start of by saying that I did not expect this much from a simple tune. I am thoroughly impressed with how much more responsive and quicker the burban is to shift through the gears now!

Even my wife was shocked! She said it has taken her a bit of getting used to because the throttle is so responsive that the burban just wants to get up and go! She smiles from ear to ear driving it, it's quite the thrill.

Anyhow, I got to drive it on Monday when we went out to do some last minute Xmas shopping. We live out in a rural part of NC, so there are alot of 2 lane roads with 50mph limits. For some reason, people like to do 40mph on them, so we need to pass when allowed. My wife yelled at me a couple of times because I just couldn't stop passing people, lol. Just cruising and them hitting the throttle... it just takes off! Amazing that those 24s can scoot so quick with this tune. Now I gotta get those brakes on to stop this beast as quick as it takes off!

Would just like to give thanks to Justin for taking the time to tune our Suburban. I am a Blackbear customer for life! As soon as the crew cab gets sold, we'll be calling on Justin to tune the new ride as well!

man your success story really makes me want to get a bbtune. They are coming over to atlanta so maybe ill get my corsa exhaust done before the tuning. Modded, im surprised that you haven't got your tune yet.

i HIGHLY recommend it. I was blown away by the difference between stock tune and the Blackbear tune on this Burban.

Me too...... it is amazing what a good tune can do for a vehicle. We had a local guy dyno tune our TBSS and it was a night and day difference.

Glad you are enjoying the Burb Robbie!

ha, I do, when she lets me drive it!

Although I did get a chance to "pass" in the passing zone yesterday. It's still quite a thrill!

Nice to have a littler power when you need it!

you can do a cable tune and have him send you a new computer. Works great if they arent coming around for a while. Thats what I did and it works great!

just an air intake, NGK TR6 plugs, 160T-stat, and ur done. Simple mods that'll go a long way.

 

[localceleb85]

160t stat?

im not familiar with what that is

 

[THE YETI]

im not familiar with what that is

air intake = Volant, K&N, AEM, AirAID, etc...

NGKTR6 = spark plugs

160 degree Tstat = 160 degree thermostat (swap your stock one for this)

Tune = Blackbear Performance!

Just some basic small stuff to add a little more pep to your ride!

We don't suggest folks do the lower t-stat. These engines need higher temps in order to burn off condensation in the oil.

NGK plugs? DO you really see a performance gain with those? How about mileage?

I'm sure Jenna or Justin can give more info on that, but I don't think you would notice a "noticeable" difference in just a spark plug, but coupled with a host of other small add ons, I am sure it helps. For less than $2 a plug, it's just an easy item to swap out.

Interesting. How hard is to change the plugs on these new 5.3's? I know my truck there are 16 plugs, and they can be a ****** to change.

16 plugs on your truck?? holy crap. My 5.3 only has 8, one per cylinder.

7 of my 8 are cake to replace, its the one on the passenger side closest to the firewall that was an absolute ***** to replace!
