Blackbear make much of a difference on a 96-99?

Matt06Yukon · Apr 10, 2013

Just wondering. I know theres lotsa room for improvement on the 5.3's and tons of room with the 6.0's. Just wasn't sure how retarded the factory tuned the Vortecs. My 97 doesn't seem to have any torque management, it gets silly easier than most of my trucks.

I assume you are talking 5.7Ls? We typically see 15-20hp and 20-25ft-lbs increases.

Just got mine done this past weekend , Met justin (great guy) very informative answers where never grey or short. Mine is a 98 , I noticed a very noticeable gain ,

-Throttle response is much sharper
-Shifts don't feel sluggish (after he set my tires to the correct size) and adjusting shift points
- Feels like it has more Giddy up
- Fuel economy i haven't noticed as I haven't had much time to drive it normally Lol
- the truck Idles a little smoother as well (this may just be my imagination though)

He fixed my Speedo (was 6-7 Mphs Off)

My truck has over 200k miles and the tune did not hurt it

What does one of these tunes cost?? How is it done?

JennaBear · Apr 11, 2013

Assuming you have a 96, the traditional tune is $200, with a core charge (refundable) of $60.

Good to hear Mr. Draper. Maybe I should get my 97 tuned....

96redsport · Apr 11, 2013

Yes, 96... And for 200 bucks that's a great deal!! This is an upgrade I will be doing for sure in the future..
