There has been talk of a midwest Blackbear tuning session on a few other forums. It sounds like it would be in the Chicagoland area. I figured I would post it on this site and see if there are any takers. There needs to be 10+ people for Justin to come out.

I want a live tune but, I already have a mail order tune from Justin so I don't count. The 10+ people is for new tunes.

We are either looking at the Woodfield mall or Joliet mall parking lots, both are directly next to the expressway. The time frame is in the spring, Justin is booked up until April so we have some time to get the ball rolling.

I'll be all over this if I get my truck by then. Anyone else thinking the BassPro in Bolingbrook? Right off I-355, easy to get to, etc

I edited my first post with 2 possible locations and a general time frame. As we get a little closer and if the interest is there (I'm sure there will be) we will finalize everything.

Good deal. Hopefully I'll have some wheels by then. The Joliet Mall is like 5 minutes from my house . I vote there. Even without a truck, I'll come bug you guys.

what about the sears center by cabelas on i-90


How much for the live tune???

Can he do any year??? might have some friends be interested?

Click the link in the first post.

Chicago aint in the midwest????? lol that is the great lakes area, ya got me all excited for NOTHIN

'Da Fuc* you smokin'?

Edit: I have bad news for you. http://images.statemaster.com/images/maps/midwest.gif

Meh, I'll think about it, but chances are I won't come.

If I can come up with an excuse to get my tune "tweaked", I will drive down. But honestly, the only thing I want done currently is AFM turned off and that can be done by mail.

But I wouldn't count anyway.

Why would you? You already have a superior Diablo tune.

$250 and he can do 96+

I already have a BB tune but would not mind getting it fine tuned in person if a tune session is set up. It just might motivate me enough to swap out my rear end gear to a 4.10 like I have been thinking of doing.

Well that map Sucks because if you think about it, Mid- start at the middle of the US, Kansas and surrounding area and west of that hmmmm i dont know maybe its a map of the Upper midwest but there is not much west there

Oh and Jennabear, that $250 doesnt include the new PCM/ECM&TCM does it?

If I could sell the Diablo for a resonable price by then I'd do it!

NO. Those are in addition to the tune cost.

that is what i thought too

No sir, the spare modules are as follows:

$100 - Gen-III
$60 - 96-00 Vortec
$160 ECM / $60 TCM - Gen-IV Trucks and SUVs

We would need to know before the meet so we could ship them out to you with a stock tune on them for your vehicle (you would need to perform a Security Relearn before getting your tune).

I would be interested in hearing about this Tuning Session....I live 2.5 Hours South and Would be Willing to Make the Drive. Consider Me in if you Get 10 Names.

Thanks
Travis

Added to the list

Add me to the list too.

Gottcha.

Bump. We have enough people. Looking like either of the last 2 weekends in April. If anyone else wants in, post up.

yeah, last two weekends in april look to be best.

start pm'ing me or matt3 with which one's best for you, but it's best if you can have either one open. once we get a date locked in, we'll have people start paypaling their $50 deposits to blackbear.

Count me in.

I just joined this site to express my interest in a BB tune. What info do you need?

Why don't you get in on the DFW tune next month? It's not a bad drive from Wichita. Just hop on I-35 and head south.

If you live anywhere near chicago just sign up in this thread and have it done the best way, live! If you don't live around Chicago go to http://www.blackbearperformance.com/ and Justin will set you up.

Hey Jeff, I dont' have my VMax tuned yet, do you think it would be worth the drive from Rochester?

YES!

OK thanks, If you want to come let me know

OK guys, depending on the weekend you can count me in. Have we decided on a weekend for sure yet???

I may just do that! Thanks!

<br /><br /><br />

Either the 3rd or 4th weekend in April. Most likely being the 4th.

Believe me i would but i dont exactly have the truck yet and i wont till after graduation unless rebates just go out the roof.. cant wait

I would tune the tahoe there but its got almost 230K miles on it and the soft plugs are going out so ill prolly be replacing the engine soon

I am locking you guys in for April 24-26 (pending deposits of course).

Kinda risky since March can be VERY snowy here in the Midwest.

I ain't the one going!

I thought that we were going to be the weekend of April 24th? I'm GMCjj on GMFS.

You are right, too many windows open.....

I'm interested. How much is the deposit and the overall cost?

I believe it is a $50 deposit and the total cost is $250. If you want to keep your stock ECM/TCM it is $160 for the ECM and $60 for the TCM (well worth it if your under warranty IMO). Send your deposit in to Justin and be sure to tell them it is for the Chicago meet and your screename.

I am really interested in this. My in-laws live in the area so I should have no problem convincing her to go visit her parents for the weekend. Is the deposit refundable if for some reason I cannot make it?

PM Jennabear and she will answer any questions you have.

We will deal with refunds on a case by case basis. A deposit is there to ensure there is ample resources to cover the costs of travel expenses, and time. Any deposit that would jeopardize having enough to cover these expenses would negate the trip.
