Blackbear Autocal questions

[FishinDVM]

Hey guys, 2014 Sierra 1500 5.3 L83 A/T... 95K and just cleared 5 years... I am passed the 5yr/100k warranty so I don't care what the stealership thinks about tunes. I have already had the unfortunate circumstance of fuel injectors (along with some more minor GM scumbag issues like seat movement and AC condenser leaking at the same spot as the other 10K people). Anyhow, I'm tired of running in M5 all the time. I decided on blackbear and dont want anything overly fancy. I'm looking for killing AFM/V4 off, improving transmission shifting, and a better throttle response. My question is, is there a way to do this for under $600? I thought I read somewhere that someone did this through blackbear for less, I just forget how. Is buying a used AutoCal my only option? I am assuming blackbear wont take one back as a one time use and return right? I dont want to keep anything, I dont want the hardware, I wont ever need to set it back for the dealership's concerns, and I wont be changing my mind to calibrate for some other feature (fuel economy, towing, whatever). I just want a one and done. Anyone have thoughts/suggestions? I doubt anyone is on long island and has one to borrow. Thanks, Chris

Call them up and talk to them.  I'm sure they would be happy to go through the options they have with you and what they cost.

Check their web site as they do local tuning events occasionally. That might be your best option or find someone local who can Dyno tune the ECM and TCM for you.

We would be happy to help with a tune. We have different tune options, but it depends on your vehicle. For your vehicle it is the AutoCal or in person tune option only. The AutoCal will allow us to see your vehicle data and provide custom tune files via email. We can help with all your tune requests mentioned above. Also we update our tunes for free as long as you own the vehicle, if you add mods later, or make any changes. The hardware, custom tune and license, plus free tune updates, everything included would be $599. Let us know if you have any other questions.
