    I ordered mine on the 16th. Haven't seen a tracking number yet. I'm not in a rush really, since I won't have time to install it until the week of the 10th.

    Also exhaust cam gears. They must be installed before running the UCON

    If it is unistalled, then why not just try installing the UCON. It doesn't change any coding.

    Maybe the BD was never actually installed......

    It was definitely installed. I've tried 4 different tunes and all were different. The tune that is installed now "works" but a far cry from great. Its not running lean though so I dont see how it could be uninstalled.
    I'm thinking about trying to install a tune then uninstalling again to see what happens.

    I was afraid the bd tune would mess up the ucon?

    UCON overrides the OEM ecu. However. If it is expecting to see certain variables, but those are skewed, then its adaptive outputs of said variables will be skewed as well.

    Try what you plan first.

    Anyone interested in purchasing a gently used Bully Dog tuner? They're great for running a Magnuson charger.
