geeze, you all are getting raped on the dyno costs. If anyone wants to go on a faith based system and send me your bullydog for testing, I can check into a cost for 2 before, 2 after runs at the shop down the road from me and surely do it cheaper than you guys are being quoted.

Has anyone confirmed that the tune needs to be removed before it can be installed anywhere else?

If it's anything like the Cobb AP, it would marry itself to the ECU and wouldn't work until you unmarry it....but apples to oranges.

I just talked to the shop owner and he said he'd do 2 before and 2 after pulls for 50 bucks so if someone wants to see the results for that cost and trusts me with their unit, I can get this done.

I'm sure that's the case.
The other issue is getting a file to match Scooby's ECU

I thought about that too. If I send mine out, it's coming back with a program on it that may not be compatible.
Question now is, can I go backwards in updates (downgrade)?

I think the upgrade files include all ECU to that point,
....but you should be able to just reload the file they sent you.

At WOT your can feel more power after 3800 rpms and up.

I cannot scan the dyno because the printer on the shop was not working.
I still running the stock resonators and mufflers and I notice that they struggle getting the air out. I regret that I sold my FI catback because I feel that this new setup it more suitable for it.

The thing with my car now is on startup. When your press the start button the car start and then shuts down. I believe this is because a lot of fuel and the HFC's. At some times I got the CEL with P0420 and P0430 and I clear those with the BD. I called Tony of FI and he talks about a modification on the HFC's.

Those are my impressions and comments.
"At some times I got the CEL with P0420 and P0430 and I clear those with the BD."

What language is that btw?

CEL - check engine light.

I would have to look up the codes but maybe 02. He clears the codes using the Bully Dog.

I'm very much contemplating this for my 6MT. If I do decide to get it, I'll be taking a baseline and post installation dyno as I'm interested in the bottom line numbers as well.
