Tire pressure. Filters. Throttle body clean, and most key of all, curb driving habits like accelerated take offs and stopping

Not going to save gas but you'll be have more fun getting there and then you'll have fun trying to beat your last time in arriving

Payments on the Hoe are done in a couple months!
i went into this planning boost it once she was paid for. What year is your rig? Did you just slap a charger on it and call it good with a little tuning?

08. I was back and forth with blackbear with tunes. They sent me a tune and then I dynoed, sent results back and they readjusted tunes according to my dyno runs.
Now I can open her up without wondering if I running too lean and possible of destroying something.

Sick man,

I got me HPTuners and a wide band for tuning, so your stock all the way around?
Cam and pistons?

Thanks man, I appreciate it, I'm hoping everything goes well.
That's great man, I hope all falls in place in time for the holidays for you as well.
Aint that the truth
Finally, after a new house build and child number 2, I have gotten back to a little work on the Tahoe. I got my afraid jr intake tube installed and got the blackbear tune files back (haven't flashed them yetbit can't wait to). Some repairs took away the money for the fun stuff but slowly doing what I can.
