Just bought a 2011 Tahoe LTZ and looking for a tuner

Get a blackbear

I was a little hesitant at first about a mail-tune, but I am very impressed with how my Yukon has woken up following my BlackBear tune.

Sounds like major shilling, but it's not.

Thanks, I'll look into that. What is the general turn around time?

Regarding recommended tunes, I would recommend a Black Bear Performance tune, which will run in the neighborhood of $600. This tune will modify your ECM and also your TCM (so that shifting performance will also be improved, which can make as much a difference in performance as the ECM tune). And with this purchase, you will be able to obtain additional free tune adjustments for the life of your truck, whenever you make a mod for which a tune adjustment would be appropriate (cam, headers, CAI, tire size change, etc.). You can obtain the tune totally remotely with BBP, and I would suggest that you call @BlackBearPerf and discuss your needs with them. Don't think of it as a one-time purchase from a vendor, but rather, think of it as building a long-term relationship with a vendor, who will be at your service for your tuning needs for the life of your truck. You won't be disappointed. A good tune is the best performance mod you can make for your dollar, IMO.

I just learned about a local guy named Charles Barber of v8muscle.net. He seems to be legit, so I may give him a try.

Good luck!

Thank you. I have not disregarded your advice. I won't make any decision hastily.

It was about a week after order to receive the tuning module and cable.

Took an hour and a half to install tuning software, and drive around to log the stock tune data, upload the data from the tuner to my laptop, and send the two stock files (engine & transmission) to BlackBear.

Took another week to get the files back, and 20 mins to load them from laptop to the tuner, and into my Yukon.

I've been driving around for a couple weeks to get all the various driving conditions re-learned into the PCM and TCM before I'll do one more data-logging session to send back to BlackBear for verification of no issues post-tune.

All-in-all, it's like a three-beer operation, minus the wait times.

My buddy Jamie Parker is a reputable tuner from my area located in havelock Nc but he makes trips to sc every now and then when he gets 5-10 vehicles lined up to tune. He’s done everybody’s vehicles I know plus my 3 trucks
