Have you guys heard of Bully Pup-Power Pup?

It's for the Titan but it has 6th gen applications. I've read the description and the PDF file. $430 is kinda pricey, I wonder if it really works Inputs please.

I wouldnt even think about getting it. With that money (or a lil more) you can just get Headers or a Catback if you dont already have one.

This is a nice find and for the money is real good. I have a buddy with one in his diesel truck and gave it a huge boost of power. Wonder what kind of gains you will get from this. I say get it.

I don't think is worth it, we discussed this on 6thgenmaxima and basically is too much money for basically nothing

I have been skeptical about this too. If you guys ever venture over to nissanclub, there are some 4th gen alti owners that have ordered this and are slowly posting results(no dyno numbers tho). For the price, and if it does everything it says it will do, it can possibly be a viable option to the TS reflash. I will try to dig up some of the links and post them over here so you guys can see what is going on with it. I am sure that eventually we will get someone that will dod before/after dynos with the bullydog, but as of right now I would remain very skeptical of this thing(although it does have a 30 day money back gaurentee if someone wants to be adventurous)

this is an older post, but I feel like I should bump it and tell you guys to think twice about getting this. check out the last page of this thread:

I saw them install and review that on Trucks a year or so ago. They liked it, and it did what it advertised but I think its overpriced.

Why would this be so bad..you buy it do your car and offer to do a couple of other cars from people on the org and charge them 40 dollars it will be paid off in no time and with all the applications you can jump over to g35driver and offer it there to... just my opinion.

imo, they are a shady company that is trying to make a living off their reputation from the titan guys. check the link again this evening and read about it.

as far as charging other people for it, afaik you can only use the tune for one vehicle, so the only thing you could do is the 2 degree timing advance. I would rather buy the cipher from uprev to do that and have a functioning monitoring system for my car. just my $.02

I use an Edge on my Ford diesel and know of many people who use Bully Dog. In my experience, these chips do a lot for diesels but very little for gas trucks. I'd assume that they do next to nothing for a gas car.

kind of my thoughts on it....there is a lot of power to gain on big turbo diesels, but not much in the way of "plugging in 25hp" as bullydog claims that their power pup will do

waste of money on a stock ecu passenger car-if you're modified you may notice marginal gains but otherwise its really only going to have favorable results on large torque heavy trucks (great for diesel)

i gave it a quick glance over but it seemed much more like an advertisement than an article. i'll have to go see if i can find a copy. it was last month's issue.

I've even found their claims to only be half true.

I've got an Edge Juice, AFE intake and MBRP exhaust on my Powerjoke.

They all promise lots of power and fuel mileage.

I got some power from the chip....noticed none from the intake and exhaust.....and even if I drive it like a girl it still only gets 15mpg.

Let's get 430 members to pitch in a dollar each and buy one, then we can ship it around the country for everyone to use...a dollar plus a bit if shipping might be worth it!!!
(I'm kidding, kind of...)

Apparently, the 7th gen owners are talking about it too, and it's been used in the g35 forums.

Once you program the car, it's mated to the ECU until you set back to stock settings... you can't use on more than 1 car at a time.

These programmers are only software inside a generic plug in. If only we knew a computer programmer who could write some script to keep if from storing the cars info and locking it to one car... Hmmm
