New Guy From Nw Indiana

[dirtfan21]

Just joined today and I'm pretty weak with the site as of yet. I have followed this and the "SS" website for years and decided to finally join after buying a new body style chevy. This is my fourth one and just got it in October so not many mods have been added. I surely have dreams though. I wont bore you anymore.

Nonsense! Trucks are never boring. Congratulations on your truck and welcome!

LT with most all options, leather, power everything, 18's, you guys know the system

 

I tinted the windows cause I cant drive without it.

 

Looking into intake, exhaust, and leveling kit. I just had a lifted 2000 and it's taking some gettin used to with the rake of these new ones.

 

I have a marginal budget, work a lot, finishin up last sem of school, and have a gf that is soon to be more... you know the drill.

 

All my trucks were bought stock and then sold pretty modded. I hope this one stays around awhile.

I am in Avon, Westside

 

Are you thinking about getting a tune? We are working on setting up a blackbear tune in April probably

[dirtfan21]

Very possible. What is the $ like for the tune? What is done?

 

Sorry I'm a lil new to the Blackbear tunes for these. I have two buddies with SS's so I just know the guys they go to, the kinds of tunes they get.

If returned after 4 weeks from completion of the tuning process, deposit refunds may be evaluated on a case by case basis. Core ChargeCore charges vary by vehicle and are required only if you are unable to send in your factory computer(s) to be programmed and/or you'd prefer a set of replacements. These core charges are refunded if/when your factory control modules are returned.

If you are unsure which core charge applies to your vehicle, please do not hesitate to ask. TotalPrice shows total cost when scan cable equipment is returned. Range reflects price with and without core charge refunded.

Traditional TuneWith the traditional tune, you provide answers to a set of questions, we program your tune and mail it out. $200 -- $60-$220 $200-$420

In Person TuneAny tuning in-person falls into this category, including group tuning. If you're interested in organizing a group tuning event in any part of the country, please contact [email protected]. Organizers are eligible for a discount on their tune. $250 -- $60-$220 $250-$470

Data-Logging TuneWe provide an EFILive Scan cable to be used in conjunction with a laptop to record data from your vehicle as you drive around. This data is then analyzed and used to build your tune. The tune is mailed to you to be installed and in most cases you'll be able to use the cable to perform a CASE learn procedure. A final driving log is created and sent to ensure that the tune is operating properly and then the equipment is sent back for a refund. $300 $250/$400 $60-$220 $300-$520

Electric Fans/

Wow thanks for all the info! I really appreciate it!

 

That is definately something I would like to do. The only extra question I would ask is... would it be better to wait until I had exhaust and CAI done so I'm not tuning twice or maybe three times?

 

Once again thanks for the help!

 

We will have to try and cruise sometime when I'm down in the area.

[RyanbabZ71]

Dont know, doesnt look like we will be able to do anything before June as it stands right now.

[dirtfan21]

Well that gives me plenty of time to get things in order.
