Bullydog Tuner??

Ok, i am just in the market for a handheld tuner, and after reading about the Hypertech, i'm a little weary. I had always thought the Bullydog was made for diesels only, but this comes up as a tuner for the G37. It even mentions in the description that they have gas tunes on their. Has anyone ever tried this tuner out? If so, what were your results?

Search G35driver for user input. There's a couple dedicated threads on those from HR users.

I have the HyperTech for my 2010 xS sedan. With the new intake tunes (I have the Stillen Gen 3), it feels like a totally different car. No problems at all.

how do you flash the ecu with the uprev tune?

is there some kind of handheld tuning device, or do you use a laptop in the car and connect it to the obdii port, or what?

the uprev site is trendy and clean looking but vague...



also, my g37 is still under factory warranty... so the ability to remove this tune is critical. is this possible?

i've read everything on their site, and i still can't find these answers...

Bingo. It is completely software based, but you need one uprev's USB-OBD2 cables to access it. The tuning license is stored on the cable, and transferred to the ecu the first time you flash it. You can download and install the software for free onto as many computers as you want, but can't access it without the cable.

As long as you have the "back to stock rom" you can return the ecu to 100% factory condition at any time, and the dealership will never know that it was tuned

is there some kind of option to "backup" the stock settings for the ability to easily revert back in the future, just in case?

how do you obtain a "back to stock" rom, basically is what I am asking...

You get 5 maps with Osiris, one of those will usually be completely stock settings, so you can switch the ecu to stock mode without removing the tune at any time.

Also the base rom file (all the files you flash onto your ecu are called rom files) will have completely stock settings for all values, that's basically the template that is tuned then flashed onto your ecu as a "tuned rom file". You should get the back to stock rom with the others when you purchase it, otherwise any protuner or uprev can get it for you
