Cmon 08, you know 2.6 mpg gain is really unbelievable on a hemi, and 32 rwhp is just ridiculous. As much as we've discussed mileage on this site, you know that the only way to improve mileage on the Hemi's is not to drive it or drop it off of Mt Everest . These tuners that have screens for real time data, are more for prestige than for tuning, plus Bullydog made it's reputation on diesels, and now all of a sudden they have the best gas tuner out there. I have run both SC and DSP on my truck and those results he claims, are by far better than either. I'm not calling BS but this is pretty unbelievable to me IMO, not to mention it was done on a 2500

I never called anyone a liar, but these claims border on the ridiculous, and I'm not the only one that will be skeptical

dam thats funny 08 I remember you saying that you would only buy the sc and never buy a bully dog tuner, it just shows how many people on here just go off from what other people say. From day one I always said I liked the bully dog over the others because of the dash/pillar mount. Everyone on this site has always steered me away from the bullydog which is the reason why I still havent bought one. I really hope to keep hearing great things about it because its one that I would buy if the gains are good and it doesnt mess up anything

There are dyno charts all over the web that consistently show a 30+ horse gain and high 20's for torque to the rear wheels, and I'd believe it. I'm not going to argue with the mileage thing. Let me log more miles and if the mileage doesn't change I will back it up, if it does I'll post the changes. Again in only reporting my experience with the 40430.

I agree that the SC has got it going on with the transmission tunes, and they have a good reputation. I like SC. With the bullydog you can change a few transmission settings, but the SC IS superior in that category. I wanted a tuner that could monitor parameters and went with the one that seemed to have the biggest power gains. Also bullydog actually makes 3 different tuners for our trucks, the 40430 being the newest model. I didn't care much about the trans tuning as I have a sonnax cure for it, I wanted power, the mileage which I'm experiencing was very unexpected, but a welcome surprise.

I will be looking into this for my 2500. I am looking to put in a cam possibly this summer. Would this be able to be customized? From what I know I need a custom tune if I get a new cam because I know it will not hold idle.
Did anyone get tunes for the engine and also the trans? I am not too familiar with tunes so I just wasnt sure how they work in terms of tuning the engine and tranny. I would assume tuning would have to go into both of them.
Good to see this is working for you, sounds like some very nice gains
