Black Bear vs. Nelson

I've heard great reviews from both. Who is better? Who is cheaper?

That's be cheaper then. Did they do a data cable/in person or what?


Did your tune come out pretty good? Noticeable power/mpg gains?

im very pleased with the tune from Justin at waitforme performance on both my 97 454 and my dads 01 496. I found used pcms on ebay and sent those in to be tuned so we still have the stock ones also, or he has pcms you can buy from him also.

Well for you being out of state you would send your computer in or buy one from them for $75 and they will tune it. Since they were only about 30min away from me they got in the truck and they tuned it while I was driving. I used to get on average 7-9 in town and 12 highway no I get 10-12 in town and 15-17 highway. And yes very noticeable; I'm also tuned for high octane fuel (which I recommend) I was tuned for low octane first and then got retuned and was a lot happier with the high octane fuel
