EFI Live vs. Blackbear

[rms25thta]

Ok, I am going to jump in here and ask a question. The 5.3 in my 02 Tahoe is stock other than CAI and cat back exhaust. Would a tune do anything for me without any internal engine mods?? The motor runs strong and has 180k on it.

I am accumulating parts for a motor build but in reality it will be another year before that is close to being finished. Give me some feedback on what a tune could do for me.......

Thanks.

Rms....the short answer to your question is yes! the majority of people who have a blackbear tune have exactly what you have and get great results with the tune

there was someone here that did a bb and was around 300k or somewhere near that

The HD I'm doing a tune on has 196k and we just did longtubes, intake, and full exhaust. These lsx engines will run forever if you take care of them.

Wow.....great to know. What kind of gains are you guys seeing from just the tune?? How do I get in touch with them and what kind of cost am I looking at?? Thanks for the help.

cost is around $550 and you can contact them via this site as they are a vendor of the site. Their website is www.blackbearperformance.com

Thanks, will be calling them.

What about net gains with the tune?? Any numbers???

With having just CAI and 3 inch cat-back exhaust, I gained 50hp. I did their dyno tune in Temecula, CA, but the street tune should be no different.

wow....nice gain. I think the one thing I would do is a cam swap and then do the tune after the install. What do you guys think about that??

 

[07Burb]

What cam and what other mods will accompany said cam swap?
