What is the difference between a custom tune, a bully dog or the hypertech ect.... I was just wondering because I see many people on here get the black bear tune and seem to love it. I had a hypertech tuner a few years back in a F-150 and it did nothing but blow up my trans, other than make my engine ping because it wanted 93 octane and in CA highest we had was 91, It was good for correcting the speedometer after the tire and gear changes and thats it.

I had a hypertech, it sucked. They are general tunes that dont change much as compared to a black bear tune that tunes are built specifically to your truck. I never heard of one person that says BB is not worth it as to any other handheld tuner where you get mixed reviews all over the place.

Black Bear tunes are EFI-Live based and are specifically tailored to YOUR truck, YOUR location, YOUR tire size, and YOUR mods. You simply cannot get the level of performance and customization out of a hand-held programmer that BBP offers with their tunes. For example, I live in the Denver area and do some mountain driving. Justin was able to tweak the tune for my elevation and the kind of driving conditions that are typically seen in the mountains.

Justin can also detect maintenance issues or problems that otherwise would go unnoticed. For example, he detected an intake leak on my Yukon that was robbing performance by throwing off the MAF sensor. Had I just plugged in a programmer and uploaded some cookie-cutter high performance tune, my truck would have been running dangerously lean due to the un-metered air that was coming in through the leak. I wasn't able to fix it with the stock intake, so he compensated for the leak in the programming of the tune to extract the most power he could without it being dangerous. I later bought an AEM intake which solved the issue entirely.

Sell the bully dog, and get ahold of Justin or Jenna for a BBP tune. You will not be disappointed. I know it sounds like I work for them (trust me, I dont), but the benefits are worth it.

I had the tuner given to me for free that's why I posted on here so I could get some good or bad reviews before I installed it on my hoe. Looks like I'm gonna put the bully dog on eBay and give bb a call. Thanks for the input guys.

all i'm going to say is I embarrased the hell out of a couple of idiots blocking traffic on the freeway last week to race their Nissan Sentra and Acura RSX. Moral of the story Tahoe blows past both of them. I was nice enough to signal as I passed. Epic moment lol.

The custom tune will yield a better result..

That being said, I have been using the Bully Dog in my 04 Tahoe since November 2010. It made a huge difference in throttle response. I would say that as long as you already have, you might as well try it.
