Default Blackbear tune Fayetteville, AR

Trying to organize a tune in Fayetteville, AR early 2012. Is anyone interested? We're down to needing 6 more interested parties, as they need 15+ on board.

No, to tune. From what I've read he's pretty good, and local to you, and you don't have to have 15 people.

Hm. Got anything to link to what you've read about him? I trust Justin and BB because of their reputation. That's why I'm working so hard to try and organize this.

However, if he has EFIlive he may be able to help me diagnose a stumble at idle that isn't throwing a code.

Tuners aren't diagnosers for the most part. Needs to be running well before the tune to get the most out of it.

And tuning isn't rocket science. Justin isn't a magical god. haha. GMFS made him so popular. There are many, many tuners out there that can do a great job and you not have to do all the organizational work for them.

I feel that you can get a lot more out of a vehicle if you have the ability to tune it yourself. What's the stumble problem that you have? Do you have EFIlive?

AJII - Opinion noted. Note that you referred to him in that light, not me. I really don't care who tunes my rig, so long as they do it right. I know that tuners don't generally provide diagnostic services... but anyone that can perform a data-logging tune might be able to help me pinpoint the cause of my issues, which I'm working to get resolved prior to a tune.

Gadgetized - I have a stumble at idle. The truck isn't misfiring, but almost feels like it is. It isn't throwing any codes. I've done a seafoam treatment, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the intake and throttle body gaskets, had a GM fuel injector clean that bypasses the tank, new fuel pump and filter, valve covers and gaskets... I think I've narrowed it down last night to my throttle position sensor. That bad thing is that it's riveted into the throttle body, so next week I'm heading to a salvage yard to pull one and see what happens.

No, I don't have EFIlive. If I did, I'd be digging into tuning the truck myself.

This has now been posted on their website. Once we have enough deposits, we can finalize the schedule.
