Blackbear VS Nelson
 
Just wondering what tune yall prefer between the two, or if there is any other tune you think is better.

I used Justin from Blackbear, great tune, great customer service.

where do you live?

tucker211 May 29, 2013 12:55 PM

I live in Odessa tx. Been hearing a lot more about blackbear than Nelson.

cammed00 May 29, 2013 02:06 PM

Nelson if you don't mind a mail order tune but BlackBear for in-person tune. I used BlackBear.

Nelson is in San Antonio, so I would find an excuse to make the trip. With capable tuners, an in person tune beats a mail order or autocal tune hands down, IMHO

I don't think you can go wrong with either guys, heard great things about both. I went with Wheatley because he is local.

Well I am soon to swap my 4.8 for a cammed LQ9, think I can make a 5-6 hr drive with my truck still tuned to the 4.8? Not sure how good it'll run.

TXsilverado May 29, 2013 03:32 PM

yeah you can make a 6 hr drive on a 4.8 tune.

tucker211 May 29, 2013 03:43 PM

Cool, wasn't sure about that. Be a perfect reason for a little trip!

I think he was being sarcastic. That would be bad to do.

Nelson might be able to send you a PCM with a base 6.0 tune to get you to SA, then he can dial it in when you get there.
