Yep anytime. If your going to the dealer you can reset to factory settings, then reinstall any of your custom tunes when ever you please through the autocal unit

i did the autocal. no need to attend a meet, or send in your pcm/tcm. once you get the hand held unit, you follow the directions on how to log your factory settings for Justin to Get the needed information about your truck.
You plug the autocal to your pc and then email that info to Justin. That data he analyzes and ask you specifc question on what you like to change. Once he is done making tunes for you, he emails that data to you. You then upload it to your autocal unit and then flash it into your truck.
you have zero down time with your ride and there is no need for a crank relearn

WOW this looks like the way to go!!! How much is the AutoCal/Handheld part? And the total cost that you spent? (including stock tuning/custom tuning switch out) I need to budget for this now...

I just found out how to Really Put it into Haul ass mode. My Tow Button on the Shifter is now the sport Mode. It really moves in this mode. Also i noticed mpg is up about 2 mpg. Havent gone on any long trips yet but its also hard to lay off the throttle too now. if your a 1st timer to Black Bear and dont want to attend the Meet. Its 549 and the autocal unit is yours. You spend no more than that. This is how you Progam your truck. Turn around time from me sending in the info to installing to my truck is about a week, depending on Justins Work load.
