If I stick to just my modded exhaust and air intake and get a tune on a 2nd ecm and keep my factory ecm, I should be good???

all you have to do is unclip the ecm. make sure the key is off, an out of the ignition. plug in new ecm an you're good. but i dont think a 250.00 fee or whatever for a new ecm is pointless to me.


yeah i have new times/video in the drag racing section from last night

From what I gather you can keep your factory ecm when doing a black bear tune and they will just send a tuned ecm for a core charge. Total price ending up being around $500. Worth it to me when a Diablo will go for around the same price

Yes.

Plus a custom tune is much better than a hand held. I had 3 different hand helds before a custom tune and they all suck compared to black bear.

You will enjoy it.

And by the way, I wanted a back up pcm cause I was scared of voiding my warrenty. Look at me now.

Long tubes, corvette servo, intake, tune, at 60k on my truck now and I've had only 1 problem, and it was the evap sensor which is part of the gas tank. Nothing wrong drive train wise.
