How much does that usually cost?

I am not sure I think I read 200-300. I have read about the results many times on another forum. Everyone is extremly happy with it.

If your looking for off the line performance a tune wont help much. the problem is that ur truck stalls at 1600 rpms. put a 2400 stall in it and you will unleash all the lowend power ur missing. You wont have to wait for the truck to build rpms because they will already be up where you need them.

This is because of the torque mangement in the programming of the computer. The black bear tune can remove all or some of the torque management
