or just purchase a tuned PCM from Black Bear, have it shipped to you...cheaper, and better than any hand held anyway.

Exactly why I recommended him to purchase a hptuner. This will allow him/her to retune on the spot. The only problem with shelf tunes is that IF and that's a big IF something is wrong with the PCM or a new modification is added the only way to get the full benefit of the modification is to ship the PCM back for a retune. Then the vehicle becomes a paper weight if that person sent in his orginal PCM to avoid a core charge

true, but some people don't know how to make changes, myself included, timing curves, fuel,etc on a laptop. This is why I leave it to the pro's. :)

How much hp gain can you "realistically" expect from a custom tune?

speaking from only personal experience here.... I got an agressive high octane scan cable tune from BB and saw 29hp to the wheels... also factor in i had recently added a CAI and muffler prior to tuning... those things dont add much if any HP alone, but they do make for a better platform to tune off of (at least that is my understanding).

no joke when i say, aside from the bottle or forced induction, you will not find a better HP gain for your dollar! I am sure there are other reputable tuners out there, but i will trust Justin at black bear with all my chevy's forever, he did a great job with my truck!

Well I was just sending Justin at BB a email and asked him if he will ship over to my country. I will get an answer on 2 of june.

On the other hand, the Dynamic Spectrum Tuning from JET, is very intresting and is something to look for.

Thanks to all for respons.

Good luck I would recommend you pay the extra $$$ to keep your stock PCM. This way you can put it back in if the tuned one fubars up or you have to send it back.
