Well I suppose that depends on whether or not you're an optimist. I'm a skeptic so I'd say a fair over/under would be 7 hp peak.

Power made safely. lol
They claim 22hp so I'd say for it to be a success it should at least be close to what they claim.
edit: 23.5hp / 49tq. lolololol

What I expect: +5whp made in the upper rpm range, maybe a flattening of the hp curve uptop instead of the usual decline seen the the VQDE
What constitutes an awesome/successful product: +10whp throughout the powerband and an A/F ratio in the "safe" range.
...alas to date the VQ has been somewhat disappointing with regards to "bang for your buck" hp mods other than plenum spacers, so I'd have to place myself on the pessimistic side of the fence. Anxiously await results to prove my hunches wrong...

Well, guys, the numbers are in. I have video of the whole dyno event and all the printouts, which I will post shortly.
But here is the short version: after the Bully Dog tune, the car runs leaner and makes less horsepower.
Damn it.
We did two runs before and after and got A/F readings from exhaust probes. Stock: At 5,000 RPM, for example, the car makes 161.1 horsepower (remember that I'm at over 5,000 feet altitude) and runs at 11.7 A/F ratio, and after being tuned, it makes 156.7 horsepower at the same RPM and runs at 12.2 A/F.
I should also note that we ran the car about 10-12 miles at varying speeds on the dyno to let it acclimate to the tune.
I am going to upload the paperwork with all of this soon. There is also a chart that plots stock vs. tuned, and you can see that after the tune there is less power, torque, and the car runs leaner.
So my conclusion is ... anybody want to buy a slightly used Bully Dog Nissan Power Pup?
