Good luck to everyone that's getting tuned today, hope it's everything you were hoping it would be!! Be safe today, have safe travels, and report back with you post tune results!! Tomorrow isn't coming quick enough for me!!

 

So, here's my take on the meet and my tune!! TRULY SPECTACULAR!!
Let me explain, I have always loved the power of my truck ever sense I bought it 3 years ago, always had good power and shifted pretty good for my taste!! Found out about 4 months ago that it was probably programmed before by a handheld or something of that nature (no speed limiter, went 110 and wanted to keep climbing). So I had the meet planned so no way I was going to back out, just wanted to see what extra Justin could get out of it and also really wanted electric fans which Justin could make possible!! Well let me tell you, this truck is even quicker now that Justin tuned it!! The shifting alone was worth the price of admission, this is so much firmer, quicker, and doesn't wanna search for gears anymore!! Overdrive is what I love the most now, kind of a useless gear for me alot of times, never seems like it was happy to be there when driving but I found myself pulling hills yesterday without it down shifting and it felt like it had the power of 3rd, I had to look down and confirm that I didn't manually shift it down (like I would usually do) on my own.
I went with the 92 octane tune because I occasionally tow my trailer and boat and just wanted to see how much more power my truck would put out safely. I need to drive it some more but the power increase is noticeable compared to the mystery tune I had before, but for me it's the shifting that has me completely sold and that's what I mainly worried about on my denali!!
I love it, Justin is a great guy, he has a killer program, and I would not hesitate to have him tune any other GM product I get in the future!!

Thanks again Justin, Jenna, and Haley for all your help in making this meet happen as well as being a very professional outfit that does some quality work!! Also thanks for those that helped Z71Bowtie out as well, you all are very quality guys that should be commended!! Wish I could have met all you guys on Friday as well as the guys at the end of Saturday, but I did get a chance to meet Z71Bowtie, Wcortesi, Dennis M., JerrySS, SSmoothsilss and his friend, and RedZRX, very classy guys!!! Talk about a long day but very rewarding, thanks to everyone for making this successful!!

Now just gotta order my efan harness and underdrive pulley from Blackbear, find a place to buy my efans from, order my servo's from the tranny place in Oregon, put my tranny cooler fan on that I got the other day from the brown truck (), and hook my tow hauler up to my truck and see what it can do!! Lot's to do but very happy!!

Also, if you guys wouldn't mind, post up what you had done with your tune and what you guys experienced so far with it!! Let's advertise a bit for Justin and the crew!!

By the way, Happy Fathers Day everyone!!

 

I forgot to update, I did get the electric fans installed as well as the tranny cooler fan, let me tell you that the electric radiator fans are almost a must have!! They are quieter than the belt driven fan, practically ice cold A/C especially at idle, takes up half the room in the engine compartment, a little more throttle response off idle, and it was easy to install and looks completely factory!!
The tranny fan, well I haven't noticed any gains so far but haven't towed my toyhauler yet so I am holding out hope!! Also did the overdrive pulley from blackbear and my truck charges the battery higher at idle!!
Still kinda on the fence on the servos, plus I'm taking a break (trying to at least) from adding any more money to the truck right now, man did I ever do more to it than I thought I was going to do in the first place!

So '05 or '06 OEM electric fans are practically a must for those that have or are going to do the Blackbear tune!!
Tranny fan, not so sure yet!
Overdrive Pulley might as well pick one of those up with the Black Bear fan harness purchase!
