Thumbs up Anyone have a GM Vehicle 99+ that needs a custom tune?

I am not making any money from this....
Is there anyone here that has a gm vehicle that they want to get tunned? I know this is a g35 forum but some people have more then one car so thats why i figured i would go out on a limb here. Some people (including myself) are trying to get Justin from Blackbearperformance out here to get our trucks tuned/retuned. He can do most gm vehicles and is very good at what he does. We need a total of 10 people to put down a deposit of 50 bucks and get a tune for 150, for a total of 200 dollars for him to come out to us and do the tunes in person. I personally have this done to my truck and would HIGHLY recomed it to anyone w/ any gm vehicle that is an a/t and they want to see more performance out of it. Justin is very good at what he does and really knows his stuff... so if you have/ or know someone who has a gm vehicle and you think they would want a tune please let me know. Once again i dont get anything extra out of this, the only thing i get is what everyone else gets and thats for Justin to come out and tune/retune vehicles in person.
Here is a quote from there site as to what they do
Welcome to Black Bear Performance, providing custom PCM tuning for late model GM vehicles.

What We Offer

Black Bear Performance offers mail order tuning for your GM Truck or SUV with a twist.

Every vehicle performs differently and we realize that a standard cookie-cutter tune won't always work well for everybody. As a result of that realization, we provide the opportunity to loan you the necessary hardware and software for you to connect to your vehicle's computer and record sensor data while you drive. By returning that data to us, we are able to analyze it and provide you with a tuned PCM that will take into account your engine's "personality". In addition, this hardware will allow you to quickly perform the common crank relearn procedure yourself in a matter of seconds, potentially saving the cost of an hour's worth of labor from a dealer or private shop.

Black Bear Performance is also a reseller of EFILive products and a partner with EFI University. We are located in Northern Virginia and would be glad to serve your GM tuning needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Applicable Vehicles

At this time, we are able to provide mail order tuning to the following vehicles:

* 99-04 LS1/LS6 equipped vehicles (F-Bodies, Corvettes, GTOs, etc)
* 96+ Trucks, Vans and SUVs

We will be adding more vehicles as time permits, check back often!

In addition to the vehicles listed above, we're able to tune many other 98-08 GM vehicles in person. Please Contact Us for details.

Interesting. Any idea how Justin's tune compares to Wester's? (I found out about Wester's through Butch over at http://denalitrucks.com/forum.)

justin's tune is better... the reason i am so quick to say this is becuase wester's is a mail order tune. Justin will send you equipment to log your trucks data and tailor a tune specific to YOUR truck. Its going to be even better because he will be here in person to do these tunes so there will be no downtime and tunning will only take like an hr max.when he does them in person you and him will cruise around and he will have his laptop and start logging/making your tune. At various points of the trip he will upload the tune to your truck and fine tune it untill it is dead on. I personally have a tune in my truck and you are more then welcome to come meet up and see whats up.
There are many reviews of his tunes on gmfullsize.com and if you google it there are tons of postive reviews. Here is a good one that has some good solid data in it

Sounds like Uprev's tune for our G's. Only difference is ECU is re-flashed with tweaked post run files on location rather than by Emails.
Not a GM owner, but sounds like good stuff for those who are
