    Long term owners of BlackBear Autocal tunes.

    I could live with that, at least it's some factual numbers, like you my main interest is turning off that AFM but would also like a little more kick in the pants during normal driving. While searching performance mods I came across a few ads promising 25%, 50% and others claiming 100hp to the...

    Roads were dry so I took the Tahoe for it's first ride down the local highway, everything seems to work fine, which I'm happy about, but I also found that I have the RPO for day time running light delete. I did a few searches about it and it looks like I'll have to get used to turning my...

    Long term owners of BlackBear Autocal tunes.

    So what are the numbers on these tuners, unless I missed it I didn't see actual data on what they provide other than that generic description. I'm a guy that likes to know what he's paying for how much extra hp, torque is it providing, what's the decrease in quarter mile times with the extra...

    550 hp Corvette powered ppv

    Keep us updated as you go along, sounds like a great idea to me, although I don't have a clue on a forum to ask unless it's an LS2/LS7, here's a read to give you some idea. http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/vemp-0608-swapping-an-ls7-engine

    How many of you got a PPV/SSV because of the extra "cool factor"?

    I chose one because of the Blues Brothers or was it Copperhead Road, maybe it was Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry, Vanishing Point or Mad Max, all I know is being a motorhead the allure of a police pursuit vehicle and it's performance upgrades just rang out to me. I'm a Chevy man that's been behind...

    I was hoping for 3.42 since it had the tow package but honestly I'm not sure how to tell and if the old spin the tire and count driveshaft revolutions work on these new rear ends, I would naturally think it would limit top speed and wonder if that came into play while the factory put the...

    No, the girlfriend at the time thought it was an old man's car and the next upgrade was a thousand dollar hit so I sold it for the downpayment on my house, kinda regret that one now. In my introduction thread I did list and show all the current iron in the stable, keeps me busy for sure, but...

    I seen the "proverbial" YouTube video where it shows installation and all the functions, I guess the fuel range could be handy if you're sweating making the next gas station on a road trip.

    Thanks fellas, here's the option sticker and the GVW/tire sticker The only Buicks I've had was an 86 T-Type with a few mods and I turned down my brother's 66 Skylark GS 401/4spd car when I was to young to realize the rarity of that car..lol My current cars are a traditional inspired...

    New 2013 PPV Owner

    Thanks for that info, I guess I worded my intro a bit wrong, I do have modern cars but not modern "performance" cars, I consider the Tahoe PPV a performance car although it's not anything crazy, but certainly better than a civilian model. I'm a guy that gives up creature comforts for a little...

    New 2013 PPV Owner

    Yes, picked it up at Chicago Motors Inc., they had good looking inventory, good write up about the vehicle, the car fax, 50+ photos and good reviews. From the initial emails, to the phone calls and texts they seemed easy to deal with, treated me fair and I'm happy with it. One thing I did...

    I think it was a pretty easy deal, it seems to be as described, I elected to have it delivered so I've only ran it up and down the road a bit to make sure it shifted and had no motor noise. I dealt with a guy named Ted, he answered what I asked, the provided car fax was nice and the 54 photos...

    Hey, just joined up, long time car guy but new to "modern technology", my last "new technology" car was an 86 Buick T-Type (think Grand National) so we've jumped a bit further up in years. I just bought a 2013 Tahoe PPV couple days ago, North Dakota one officer take home, D.O.T. enforcement...
