Nice to jump on and bash a great vendor/supporter.

FWIW My in-person tune really woke my Denali up. Justin is a great/standup up guy who is also very knowledgeable and tries to answer all of your questions.


As for the main question: I got my CAI and exhaust done prior to meeting up with Justin.

 

[jeffyrc]

i already have a CAI and E fans. so i guess headers are the only thing left.

dont get a BB mod.. he just uses predator's tuner fuel tables.. its complete waste of money. he's a cookie cutter tuner that everyone uses thinking they are getting the real deal. you are much better off finding someone else to tune it on road or dyno. people are going to flame me for saying this but its the truth, we hook hp tuners up and check his tunes and its 100% identical.

May I ask if you are familiar with the term libel? You are committing it, so you may want to check into it, especially when it has to do with a corporation.

That being said, I do find this rather humorous, seeing as though Justin is the EFILive instructor for their software program (the only software we use for 99+ vehicles). As far as I can tell, you do not nor have you ever had a tune from us. If you already have HPTuners, I assume you tune on your own, and maybe you were looking into our tunes to try to learn from them (which, if you were, that is dishonest and equivalent to theft). If you wish to take tuning courses, check into efi101.com, they are a wealth of knowledge.

I am sure you already know that we have tuned thousands of vehicles, and within that, many have been in person and on our dynos. All of our tunes/tables, have been dyno developed/tested (on load bearing dynos).

If we had something to hide, don't you think we would be locking our tunes? It is rather bold for you to accuse us of simply re-branding someone else's work.

I will leave your post up, and allow you to decide what you wish to do with it. There are plenty of Mods/Admins that can take care of it if you choose to do so. In the meantime, if you have some sort of an issue with Black Bear Performance, I encourage you to contact us direct, before lashing out in a public forum.

i got my tune from BB and it was done as a street tune. justin took the time to drive around on the street and freeway and try some different tuning solutions. i will tell you it was night and day.

i had the e fans turned on and installed the fans when i got home. i also have CAI and exhaust.

you could do the corvette servo and headers, maybe delete the cats for more flow?

 

[JennaBear]

Stock cats are are already hi flow, I wouldn't recommend removing them, unless they are clogged.

As for headers, depending on where you live, I would recommend midlengths or long tubes. We sell Doug Thorley headers, but we can recommend other good brands.

It is interesting that you say this and I couldn't disagree more because my firsthand experience has demonstrated nothing but the contrary. The difference felt with my handheld Predator tune was nowhere near as impressive as Justin's in-person service. He works MAGIC with his tuning abilities and the results easily surpass that of a handheld. Performance and drivability are greatly enhanced beyond that of my handheld, not to mention the fact that I'm also able to meticulously customize my tune configuration on a much more granular level... which is impossible with a typical handheld.

Well said Jenna.

i must say i have heard nothing but GREAT things about BB and am looking forewerd to getting one. Jenna let Justin know he has $250 with his name on it. ive been sold for a while now, just want to get all the modding out of the way first so i can get the most out of the tune. as for headers im getting the Pacesetter long tubes with the ceramic coating and Pacesetter "Y" pipe. i have magnaflow catbacks on my tahoe now. where can i find a Vette servo?
