Black Bear tune vs. Hypertech

[010Bowtie]

I have a 010 Silverado. I was wondering if I should go with the Black Bear Auto Cal tune or Hypertech max

A custom tune is WAY better than a generic canned tune. Go with Black Bear.

Black Bear all the way

You will not find anyone that will condone a canned tune over a custom one.. For a canned tune, the Hyper may be good. But a custom would take a great canned tune to the next level. I considered the price difference between a can and custom. Went with the custom BlackBear, never looked back...

They are not even comparable. Custom tune through BBP is the way to go.

First see if black bear will have a meet on their website near you. If not proceed to the autocal

I did BBP and I purchased the autocal. I like the option of putting the stock tune back on the truck.

After I got Hypertech, it lights up at a 20 roll turns em going into second, no more V4. Im not saying its the best but I got it cheap and in one day.

I just had a Blackbear tune done and I'm very happy. Something the canned tunes won't do is tell you that you have a hose disconnected on your intake tube. I sent my initial log to Blackbear and he looked at it and emailed me to check a hose on the intake tube. It was hidden under the engine cover. When I removed the engine cover this is what I found:

Its this simple, as stated above- don't waste your money. Blackbear always wins hands down.

If you mean a code reader they do and you can check it yourself.

Got my hypertech installed last night. No complaints.

 

I did +200 rpm rev limit and +200 rpm on all shift points. 25% shift firmness. Seems good to me.
