First drive around was interesting. I definitely felt the +15 HP right off the bat. I love the Realtime onscreen stats this thing has. The fuel economy mode blew me away. Beeps at you to tell you to accelerate or decelerate for best mpg. With just those few things I'm super happy with it as well as the super great price.

And on a side note. All of the tweaks you can do with this thing is amazing. I can't wait to see how the ESP complete off mode works opposed to the weird standard option my JK came with.

Edit: my MPG in city averaged to 15mpg. That was also with me getting down with it to feel the HP gains and then driving smoothly with the fuel Econ mod.

I agree. The BullyDog allows you to change shift points on the auto trans. Pretty sweet deal.

Thinking this should have been my first mod instead of the top combo. Oh well there's always next week.

Great!! :-)
Glad to see you are enjoying it! Mine should arrive any day now. I'll install it in the weekend and post my impressions also.
What your city mileage used to be before?
Can hardly wait for mine. ;-)

You need at least an "add a circuit" to connect it to the fuse box. Easy to find in any auto parts store.
KyleTheGrouch mentioned he had to install a couple feet of wire also because of the location he chose, so I recommend you add it to your shopping list. ;-)

Well to be honest I usually drive like a maniac and hardly watch my mpg. But lately I've calmed down and calculated it out to like 12-13 mpg before the BD. That's with a 4" lift and 35" KM2s. And now the BD says 16-17 mpg city but have only driven 15 or so miles. It's gonna take a few tanks for me to see a real improvement in mpg. But I'll tell you what... I noticed a huge increase in my jeeps get up and go right off the bat. I have stock gearing so my jeep sometimes feels sluggish. I think I don't need to regear anytime soon now. Kinda happy about that.

Let us know if the BD MPG is close to your hand calculated mileage.
