60 hp , from a chip ? i do not think so ........

So you have not used one of those chips or you have.

Save your money and get a real tune from BlackBear.

 

[Eod1]

Black bear? How do I get in touch with them?
Do you have someone there you recommend to talk to?

Anyhow, about that ad, they guarantee 60 horses. So, I could take my truck to the track, make a few passes to establish a baseline and then install their chip and should see 60 more horses reflected in my time slips...

Is that a question?
My original question was has anyone used that chip. I have not. Some mention Blackbear. I will contact them tomorrow and discuss my tuning options.

I know, I read the post. I summoned BB to this thread for you in response to post #5.

Those HP claims are bogus. BB is a custom tune unlike a canned tune and they work with you on what you want to do. They also change trans settings like torque management, shift points, etc so the overall change is much better and you end up with a vehicle that’s just way more fun to drive as well as the performance gains. Plus it’s a lifetime tune so if you change anything they will retune. They’re a preferred vendor here, you can find them under the performance sections or at www.blackbearperformance.com.

Talked to black bear performance today. 500 is a lot of money for a program but what he said it would pay for I guess I can choke it down with some BBQ sauce on it.

You will not regret it, I guarantee it. Best money you’ll ever spend.

more like $850 if you want to not have to pull your computer and ship it back and forth

Prices go up? I had an in-person tune with an Autocal and paid under $600 last year.

 

[Rocket Man]

I believe Autocal is $625 now so not sure where $850 came from?

 

[Doubeleive]

ok I guess it went down $100, I was reading before it would be $850 with the tune and equipment (should you choose to keep it so you can tune at will)
current Pricing:

• Tune service: $350
• Scan cable security deposit: $150 for LS1/LS6 vehicles, 1998-2007 Classic trucks and SUVs, $400 for all newer vehicles

I would suggest the Autocal which is $599 for the tune and Autocal itself. Current prices for all except the K2xx.

 

[Eod1]

Black bear said for the 500 I would get a programer, plug it in , drive for 30 min, unplug it, send it to them and they would send it back with I think he said 5 tunes to use.

Like Rocket says, get the autocal. That way you can load any of your tunes (or put it back to stock, for that matter) whenever you want to.

I assumed the tune & cable was essentially that, it's kind of confusing on there website

It is confusing but I know the Autocal is the only one where you keep the hardware and can change between tunes at any time, and the only one where they can send your tune via email. The others need to be sent to BB to load the tunes then shipped back to you.
