Well I got the update needed from Lance Hunter @ Bully Dog, downloaded it to the device, and all is good. I was able to remove the speedometer limiter and I'm currently using the premium setting on the Bully Dog. I can definitely feel a difference, everything runs smooth. I'll get her on the hwy to test the speedometer limit that I set (from 110 to 160mph). No, Im not going to attempt going 160mph on public roads, I just set it to that for now.

I attempted to test the speddometer limiter on the hwy last night, but there was too much traffic so maybe tonight I can test it out. Overall I am satisfied with the device so far.

I will test out the speedlimiter when there's no traffic or troopers, and update y'all. I dont expect to go 160pmh but just wanna make sure I can go over 110mph.

Yep! You are safe to drive daily with a +2 timing advance, just make sure you use 93 octane gas.
Btw the speedlimiter setting worked, I was able to go over 110mph.

I believe the rpms were around 5500 when I went over 110mph, it was very smooth as well. She wanted to keep going, but I had to let off the gas.

Well I called them last night and they gave me 1.2.2B (includes ZN66A for my ECU). I went and put in 91 octane and flashed the ECU with the premium tune. I didn't bother removing the speed limiter or rev limiter yet but I can tell you, you can certainly feel the difference.
I had the girlfriend come along and when it was done flashing we went for a drive on the hwy. No other cars were around so I down shifted into third and got on it. I noticed right away there was no bucking and power is delivered equally across the rev range. Shifting other gears from like third to forth, forth to fifth and so on is like butter now. Even if you do not shift at the right rpm it just feels smoother and a lot less bucking of the motor (if you are a crappy shifter lol).

This morning I went back to the stock tune and immediately realized what the Power Pup does. Flashed back to Premium again after about 5 minutes of driving (I couldn't stand stock anymore).
