BD questions that will just make my day. Performance questions
ok i just installed my BD. Not too bad after i got through all the updating part. Heres my questions. I dont to mess up my motor or anything because its a new truck with only 5k on it. Heres the setting that i set it to. please any input on what i should up or down on would be greatly appreciated.
WOT- enabled
speed limiter - 180 mph max
preminum setting because i put 91 gas anyways
thats about all i did to it. I'm just curious if i should +2 the timing advance. thats my main concern. I do have a CAI and a flowmaster cat back exhaust which is all the performcance that i will upgrade to. Will the +2 hurt me in any way? I thought i read up on it and someone here said they would not reccomend it. Please advise on this.
Also what about the rev limiter and the idle? should i even change it and if i should what should i put it to , for it to still be safe?
What else should i do to my settings and what did i do wrong so far with my settings? I want to get more gas milage if possible. What exactly does the +2 do? and is it safe with my mods?
last but not least, can i install my BD on my brothers truck too or do i have to buy awhole another BD?
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys
Re: BD questions that will just make my day. Performance questions
You would have to buy another bullydog unit to put on your brothers truck. Though, you can do the 2 degree timing advance on his with your unit.

Re: BD questions that will just make my day. Performance questions
If you're running 91 tune, I would probably not advance the timing unless you can data log your truck.
You need to return your truck back to stock before you can use the BD on another Titan
You don't need to adjust rev limiter, not gonna help with anything
Only adjust idle RPM if you do timing advance and the idle RPM goes up.
Re: BD questions that will just make my day. Performance questions
You can always try the regular tune with the 2 degree timing advance and see which tune you like better.
I'm running the regular tune, 2 degree timing advance, and WOT restriction removed. No other changes. I 'll never go as fast as the speed limiter will already allow and I didn't see any need to adjust the rev limiter. So far so good.

First off, the way you posted WOT enabled is not correct. The correct BD terminology is WOT restriction disabled. Do not run the 93 tune with +2 timing for everyday use. My logs showed the timing peaking at 36 degrees when set that way.

+1 here
I'm running the regular tune, WOT disabled, and I already had a 2* advance before I tuned so it was piggybacked into the ECM. I raised the speed limiter to 129 though. Overall I'm happy with the smoother power band I've gotten with the BD.

What will happen with the 2* advance and 93 tune?
