Black Bear Tune - Options?

[wrkdvr]

I finally started my truck build, and it will progress slowly as funds become available. I just finished my lift & tires and I am looking to get a BB tune. Hopefully in a year or two I will be able to do a CAI and new catback exhaust. When ordering the tune, what options are available? Since I'm not a gear head I don't know what are common items owners suggest to do.

 

I have a 2011 Silverado Z71 with 5.3L Flex-Fuel, 3.08 gears. I had a BDS 4" Lift and Toyo R/T 33x12.50x18 wheels -12 offset. Here is what I'd like in my tune that I can think of.

 

1. Adjust speedo for tires

2. AFM turned off

3. 91-93 octane

4. Would like a little pep put back in....I would like it to hold 1st gear a little longer.

 

What else am I missing?

Also, when people talk about firming up the shifting what does that mean? Right now it's pretty smooth but it shifts to quick at low RPMs when going through neighborhoods or making short turns/stops at intersections/turns.

When I do add on the exhaust and CAI, will BB will redo the tune for free if I purchase the Autocal device?

Will the tow button stay the same as programed already, or will that change to?

Firming up shifts- basically, it will not feel like your transmission is hunting for the right gear to use!

 

Tune updates are free of charge.

 

If you want your tow/haul changed, it can be. But if you do tow, the guys can tweak it a bit, but leaving it still functional as a tow option.

Would the tune stop the slipping feeling of the 6L80E?

Yes, the shifts are more decisive.
