Default My 8.1 with new XD's

Had them on for about on for a couple months but was barely able to get pics of them now. They are 33's with 18" xd bombs, i was gonna get some 20"s in chrome but saw these, also i didnt get a pic after i cranked the t-bars another inch on top of the keys it looks sick. Anyway i was wanting to get a tune for my truck for more power and better towing, i just have exhaust and a cold air intake. I already know theres a bunch of threads on the custom tunes but my question is, can u actually feel the difference in performance to where its worth the money? I need your guys input please and to which tune u recommend and how much it costs. Thanks

Truck looks good! A little colormatching and de-molding and it would look awesome. I have a tune on my 5.3 and it made a big difference. Not sure how the 8.1s are tuned but I imagine it will really wake it up! I have a Blackbear tune, but I've had it for years so I don't know the current prices. Blackbearperformance.com is where I would go.

Thanks i just need something to clean my mirrors and fender flares, they're horrible, almost like a grayish color, back to black maybe? And ya i thought about de-molding it but not to sure. I also have an 03+ grill on because my trucks an 02, i just need to get the matching bumper and brackets but it still looks good as it is for now. i guess ill give blackbear a call i tried westers like a year ago and couldnt get a hold of anybody so i just gave up on them.
