Seat of your pants...

I'm looking for some real worlds results from the BBP tuning. Considering this for my 2011 Tahoe LTZ and would like some feedback from members who have had this done.

Has performance improved? If so how?
Has mileage improved? If so by how much?
Has something else improved? If so, what?
Towing?
Around town?
4 wheeling?

Thanks in advance.

Really? nothing? BBP tuning has about 99% of tuning posts here and no one wants to share results?

Dont have statistics or on paper data but I went from getting 12-12.5 city mpg in my 07 5.3 tahoe, to getting 15 city mpg and around 17-18 highway.

Acceleration and power seemed to be a pretty big jump but cant give you data. Just felt like I accelerated a lot quicker and definitely woke the vehicle up more.

What engine do you have? Then we can tell you what we have seen on the dyno for your vehicle....

I hadn't responded because it all depends on what you tell Justin that you want. He can create a tune that will maximize MPG or a tune to maximize performance or whatever you want for whatever octane you want.

Myself, I went with a 91 octane tune and went mostly performance based so that my land yacht could get out of it's own way My MPG is almost identical to what it was prior to the tune but compared to stock my Suburban gets up and moves. Then there's a second tune on it when I press the tow/haul button that I LOVE when I get a chance to play a little bit. But if I would have said I wanted better MPG I'm sure I could have been bumped up a couple MPG like Phil's does.

Agreed^ its all on what you want. Justin and jenna do a really good job of dialing in what you want. I would give jenna some info and she could better help you out since they see and hear the results alot more.

Thanks again. I'm interested in multiple tunes.
Everday driving 91 octane
Towing
Off roading
How many tunes come with the purchase of the $599 EFI-Live?

Numbers will vary, based on driver, modifications and gas (quality and octane), but we typically see 10-25HP and 1-2MPG with the vehicle you have mentioned.

With the AutoCal, you receive tuning for the first vehicle (it can tune up to 8 total). Tune updates are free for the life that you own the vehicle.

The tune options you have listed, can all be accommodated.

Get AFM DOD disabled imo

Scott, that sounds about right from what jenna posted. I ran all mine off 91 octane as well.
They are very good about getting you a new tune or adjusting tunes as well in a timely manner. For as busy as they are, they do an excellent job to fit you in and get you taken care of. I speak of this from personal experience. Emailing justin, and the next day finding an email with the new tune. At most a few days for me. Very efficient imo. And yes, do what goodinblack said and do the afm dod delete.
