Talking Got my blackbear tune

Time to sell the hypertech on cragislist n ebay lol. Just got the Blackbear Tune and Let's Just say its a different truck. Mods in sig. I went ahead and put the tow haul to a sport mode. Running premium fuel. I took videos however it is extremely hot outside and the only spot I can take decent footage after the tune was on an uphill on ramp getting on the highway. (post work traffic) I think its pretty good for a 4.8 thats lightly modded. Anyways, Tq management is removed 80% and 100% in tow haul *** mode. Shift points are 5800 rpm in normal and 6100 in tow haul *** mode. Once i get long tubes its going up to 6300. Either way here it is

Before the tune

After Justins tweaks.

As everyone said, well deserved wait. Not only performance, but overall driveability is amazing and converter no longers locks up early and kills around town driving. Now i can cruise with ease. Although Justin at Blackbear is busy, he is really cool to work with, he tells u whats going on as he is tuning it. If you are waiting on a tune please be patient, it is definitely worth the wait.

I really like my BB tune as well!! Strange though because mine 1-2 shift comes at like 5600-5700. Then my 2-3 at 5900-6000. Guess it doesn't matter though, it still runs great!

Can't wait for a VVT cam and cnc the heads!! Then back to justin
