Default Bully dog or Diablo

What do ya'll think is better Bully dog or Diablo? Ive ran a bully dog TD w/crazzy larry. I have a guy that wants to trade me his Diablo and puck for it.

I have had the Diablo and the puck, never at the same time. I like the features of the Predator, but actually liked the puck better. It was a simple plug and play module, my truck ran great with it installed. I won't use the higher settings on the Diablo because I can't afford a new transmission right now. The puck gives you adjust on the fly capabilities. If you're just looking for modest power gains with mileage in mind, the puck is the way to go. I'm sure someone will chime in about stacking the two.

I run the Diablo Predator Sport and have no complaints other than the time it takes to switch programs. From what I have read after getting it and using it for the last 11 months it probably is not one of the best mods available. For what its worth I would go with BD. Cheers Arnie

Bully Dog-On the fly adjustability, Easy To use, And crazy larry is a higher hp program than Diablo. With the bully dog you can also get a higher tune like scarry larry or Senator larry.

If you want on the fly, go with the BD, I have the predator/puck stack and its great. For the money I'd go with the Diablo Sport, I got my used for $250, but even retail its cheaper than a BD. I've never had any problems with it. As far as power I've only used a BD on extreme so I really can't compare max power levels. I have run the DS on extreme RKL, which is the 180hp setting on the 06-07 predators, since you have an Airdog you will do fine. My stock LP won't keep up. As far as Stacking goes the stacker tunes make the same power just with way less smoke. Its a sleeper on the stacker tunes, little smoke before spool up and then it cleans up nicely. On a non stacker tune you get tons of smoke before spool up and then cleans up, but not like the stacker tunes.

Not sure about scary larry but you can run Senator. Senator is faster than a smarty by a second on the same truck, To all the Smarty cheerleaders out there.

x2, I too think the smarty is a bit overrated and priced. I got the predator/puck stack used for $250, new I've seen the predator for under $400 right now. I haven't had any problems with it in the 1.5 years I've owned it. It will change tire size, change the speed limiter, won't erase key counts, and you can enable the high Idle with it. Its also very easy to upgrade.
