I have been running on the Premium Tune since I got my car back and it feels superb. I can't wait to I am done with my breaking in period. This new engine is taking very well with the mods plus the Bully Dog.

Bad idea. Learn from the mistakes made from others.
First and foremost, have patience. Pretend the BD hasn't come in the mail yet.
Plug it in and allow it to read the engine. When it's done.... stop!
Wait until BD support is available and have them read your BD. They will tell you which version to run with.

Running the wrong version can have crazy results. Do it the right way and you will be very happy with your results.
Patience!!!

1 week later and still nothing from BullyDog. They don't reply to emails. I guess I have to call them next week. I hope this wasn't a waste of money.

Call them. Email only seems to go to one tech. A quick phonecall will get anyone who's available, so it may be the quicker approach.

Finally I installed the BDand thanks to Gary from BD support providing me with the version 1.2.2h but im abit dissapointed.I set the rev limiter to 7775 and the speed limiter to 176 with the premium mode. I dont know if our cars are able to go beyond such speed but the BD didnt help here.Another point to whoever tried his car to push it all the way to highest speed,does the 4th gear shift into fifth by itself when its even in the manual mode? My car is 2008 with GCC specs

so it works on GCC's?! AWESOME!

160mph is probably the max you can physically go. Setting the limit at 176mph on the BD doesn't mean it will actually reach 176mph. It just means that if the car WAS able to reach those speeds, the speed will be limited to 176mph and not go further. Anyhow i'm happy it works on our cars.

a little of topic, G35AD are you in Abu Dhabi?

Just downloaded the 1.2.2H and it works!!! I was a bit concerned to do it outside tech support hours. Set timing to +2 and raised idle by 75.
Drove a little and it feels that the car pulls stronger. I'll get a better feel in the next couple days. BTW, I have a 6MT and the car has less of a jerk starting in 1st gear.
I was also wondering if the ECU need to re-learn? Anyone.

Wow it works on the 6MT! Anyway I'm thinking about taking one for the team and doing a dyno day. I'm also be testing out AFE's new Short ram intake kit (Takeda is really the name of it) I will be comparing it to my K&N short ram intake. I think I'm going to get around 4 runs (I hope). I think my runs will be as follows: 2x stock ecu tune runs (with k&n intake and Takeda respectively), 1 premium run without timing increase, and 1 premium WITH timing increase. (Both premiums will be run with the best performing intake as it will be the intake I keep). Anyone have any other suggestions for the runs? BTW I will not be using the stock air box at all (would take to long to set back up). What do you guys think?
