Is there much difference between EFI live and a blackbear tune. I like the idea of having multiple tunes an the fly and a local shop can do efi live so it would be right there, but can blackbear out do efi live? pros? cons?

You can have multiple tunes with black bear as well and load them whenever the need arises :shrug: No need for a shop to load anything once you have the tunes.

are the blackbear tunes on a handheld programmer? efi live can use a multi stage switch and change programs on the fly, when i said local shop i meant that i can go to them and get free retune for life

i use efi live Autocal. Ive got it from Blackbear and Justin is the Man. Its like a handheld, but it also Reads, Logs data and Pulls dtcs if you have any. I Switch out tunes all the time. Ones i currently keep are 87 tune, 93 tune, SPort Tcm tune and a Tow tcm tune. I like the fact i can Upload any tune any time without the need to make appointments for a retune.

550. THe autocal handheld is yours to keep. There is a discount if you already have a BB tune, but you have to take it up with them to see how that works.

I have the autocal as well so I can hook my customers up with awesome tunes from Justin. We're doing a 1500hd with bolt-ons and my homie's tahoe this weekend if all goes smooth. The autocal is dope and Justin is the ************* man when it comes to tuning these things.

Sweet! This might have just jumped to the top of my list.

OP, I would get the Autocal set up from Blackbear if I were you. Great customer service!
