Unscientific tuner test...

[2ATA]

I've got a Bullydog Tripledog Gt Tuner in the Tahoe that has been running for a while now. Nothing to fancy I only have the basic tune loaded and have been runing 87octane in it. The GT Tuner has the basic performance testing bult into the unit.

Well, on the way home last night I got the urge to try the testing out. This was very unscientific. I simply stopped on one of the backroads, didn't see any cops and gave it a shot. Thought it might be of interest, I will be changing fuel and trying out the 91 octane program over the summer, I will post those results for comparison as well. The results are as below.

60ft 3.1sec
0-60mph 10.3sec
1/8 mile 11.5sec
1/8 speed 64mph
1/4 mile 17.7sec
1/4 mile speed 77mph

I already sent the email to Black Bear.

I figured we could use more of these types of posts. We all talk about what we are running and people are always curious, however, if we can provide hard data for the various setups that are being used. Eventually a pretty solid database would be developed from hard data.
