    What’s your end game? The ucon can control a 7th injector while the ovtune cannot. Ucon has the guardian feature. But if you have the trd flash the ucon won’t run optimally unless you get an ecu with the stock flash. The ov tune is a lot less pricey and no need to swap your cam gears.

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    Good question.

    I don't know.

    I have the TRD flash.

    I would like more power, but I love it as is too.

    It is still a ways out so I have not really decided, so far the rough llan has been

    Spec U headers, custom mid pipe
    2.7 pulley, maybe 2.85
    Staying on pump gas, considered e85 but not worth the headache finding fuel.
    Water meth, and cooler upgrade I tow a lot and have been thinking of cooling the charged air more.

    Current lifetime MPG is 11.5, not a big concern but leaning it out some coukd helpn plus i would not have to clean the bed side as much!

    I love the roots power delivery, would like to stretch it a bit more but want to keep the roots.

    I would like to ditch the cats, and would rather run 6 larger injectors if needed than run a 7th.

    Really do not have huge plans, just would like to add a little more and also actually have it tuned.. vs the TRD flash which just appears to dump fuel in.

    Several people (myself included) are already running the non SC tune. If your waiting you will like it. Nothing crazy like a SC but its a nice additona for the N/A folks.

    The handheld got a nice update last night. I won't be ripping out the UCON to try to connect again until there's a list of ECUs.

    Recently took notice of how cheap v8 swapped s10's are around here. Eyeing that instead of the overpriced superchargers. Rather break that then my DD. Race truck and a mud truck. Best of both worlds!

    No, he didn't. Shows how much you think you know, but don't.

    He an I are trading emails and although you'd like to think you're informed...you're not.

    Maybe you should just take care of the man in the mirror. I'm guessing that guy has got plenty of work to do...

    It's an easy fix. Don't read it. Just put me on ignore and erase the chalkboard.

    Matt. I'm not going to bust your hump here, but this is the problem I have with ovtune...you give dates when your product and/or service will happen, and then it doesn't happen, even after YOU give dates it will happen.

    In response to your above quoted post here...I responded to your email that YOU stated-"should have the revised tune over to you tonight". That was an email you sent me Monday. No revised tune was sent. Had you simply emailed me that it might be a few weeks as you needed to catch up on other tunes, then fine. Just telling me something that doesn't happen is where I get my undies in a wad, especially when I'm responding to something YOU stated, that I take as your word as when things will happen.

    If I haven't received a revised tune in a couple of weeks, I'll email you. Thanks.
