    Calibrate Shift Points, and Engine Rev Limiter.

    Those shift RPM tables take effect in all shift lever positions.

    Calibrate Shift Points, and Engine Rev Limiter.

    Those types of shift points are independent of tire size and are based purely on engine RPM. You would need to use the "+" option.

    Calibrate Shift Points, and Engine Rev Limiter.

    On a 2000 5.3L, we would suggest bumping the 1-2 shift up by no more than 200rpm unless heavily modified. The 2-3 shift can benefit from a 300-400rpm increase. 3-4 shift will not occur at full throttle with OEM tuning and that is fine unless you're making considerably more power and have...

    Read Error on Auto Cal

    Aftermarket radio control modules will often also present the same problem.

    Read Error on Auto Cal

    The problem isn't the AutoCal software, the problem is that the remote start is tied into the vehicle's communication system. All other modules receive a request by the AutoCal (or any programming tool for that matter) to stop communicating and they do. Your remote start fails to listen to...

    Shift kit

    What WILL happen is the shifts will be inconsistent without tuning for the shift kit. The PCM WILL constantly adjust the pressure around the desired shift times, as the PCMs corrective pressure changes will be overstated. In most cases, the torque management being in place will be...

    Black bear Tune

    The 91+Octane tune that we provide for N/A purposes would be ideal on 93 octane but acceptable on 91 octane. Timing differences are insignificant on most GM N/A engines between 91 and 93 octane.

    Super charger advice

    That is the biggest thing we see with the Magnacharger over the Whipple on these torque request based systems (2014+ DI Trucks/SUVs). The Whipple systems use a bypass that is referenced to boost. The Magnacharger and Edelbrock systems use a bypass that is referenced to plenum vacuum. The...

    Black bear Tune

    A tune for 91+ will work better on 93 than 91, but still acceptable on 91 octane. There is no downside to increasing octane compared to what it is tuned for. The only time we may dial a tune back is if it is written for boost in Southern California, Arizona or Nevada, as those areas have...

    Service engine soon

    Rear O2 sensors do not have any impact on engine operation, they serve to monitor the efficiency of the catalytic converter only. No need to rush out and change it. Knock sensor codes on the other hand will result in up to 10 degrees of ignition timing retard from target. Those codes will...

    Black Bear Performance 2016 Intake Test

    Spare modules and/or AutoCals are only shipped out for those individuals that purchase them ahead of time. Your truck does not have spare modules available, only the AutoCal can be used to return to factory. If you are interested in purchasing an AutoCal at the time of your tune or are...

    Black Bear or Hypertech Max Energy

    We cannot measure crankshaft gains without pulling an engine, so all gains that we quote at any point are going to be at the wheels. 91 octane will yield gains on the higher end of that spectrum on average whereas 87 can yield gains on the lower end.

    Black Bear or Hypertech Max Energy

    On that engine, gains are typically in the 25-30hp range and even at the 5000-5500lb range that it is, they can still be very noticeable. You won't only see improvements at full throttle, you should see efficiency/power improvements at all load points. The 01 has the same transmission as all...

    Tuning Advice Needed

    I can't guarantee that it would be unlimited forever as we have an offsite employee that we would be using as the HPTuners conduit. That individual teaches tuning courses as well through EFI University.

    Tuning Advice Needed

    We ship with USPS Priority mail by default and it usually would be in your hands in two business days after ordering. It would be best for you to get it in hand and collect your tune files a week or so before the engine goes in. Should be able to have everything ready to flash at that point.

    Black Bear Performance Tune Event New Orleans, LA; April 3-4, 2017

    I believe that tuning it now would actually be the best option for you as I'll be able to set it up so that you can install and drive on the cam update immediately, it just won't be perfectly efficient. If you were to install the cam/AFM delete without having it tuned for it, you would end up...

    Tuning Advice Needed

    The V2 is $899, the AutoCal is $599. Turn around time would be the same on either and really depends on our workload at the time. We're a bit backed up at the moment, but getting better on that each day. We do have an expedited service option for $50 which would get same day service when...

    Black Bear Performance Tune Event Washington DC Area; May 5-7, 2017

    Happy to help. The deposit for a time slot is $80, then the balance for the tune is $260 as you indicate. A replacement set of computers is not mandatory for your model (or any model) and is only present as an option in the event you want that ability to return to stock readily down the road.
