Bullydog chip just installed

I just installed a four bank Bullydog. I cleaned the contacts on the computer for at least 20 minutes including light scraping with a small screwdriver. However, I don't notice any power difference between any of the four settings when I rev it up and get the Turbo around 20psi. This is my first chip so I'm not sure what to expect.

I also installed 4 inch exh and rapid flow intake which seems to have made a difference aside from the chip.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for your comments.

I installed the same chip with a rotating switch. I feel a BIG differance between the settings. In fact the idle jumps up a couple hundred rpm by flipping the switch. If I am at 35 mph and flip the switch it will gain at least 5 mph with the same foot pressure.

Well... I had the switch assembly plugged in wrong. They way the connector is designed it wasn't hard to do.

Anyway, what a difference... WOW.
