    I would do a Dyno. But matt posted an Instagram live video of his Tacoma, stock then tuned. And showed a 24hp gain.

    If I do a Dyno then post it, you’ll say the same shit:

    “And yes because you read something on TW it’s got to be true right ???”

    0-60 time man. That's it. Do three and average if you want. That will definitively show a 10% increase in hp.

    Sorry you're incorrect. But since you made a direct claim about my product not being going to do much of anything. Please, enlightment me as to why?
    Please let me know your expertise regarding the 2GR-FKS engine.

    Your posts on here imply I am selling a fake, over-priced product. Normally I ignore this stuff but the level of development, time and work into what I have developed so far pisses me off a little bit when someone just makes such bold claims based on nothing.

    The problem I have is when people think they can leisurely get away with saying things against businesses or developers, like they aren't even people. I find it highly disrespectful for someone to just come in throw around such shit. I put my life into my work and don't take such things lightly.

    Prove to me how my calibration done on a stock truck, documented, video'd, 900+ pages of open development, tuned on a 3rd party dyno with the dyno controls set by a 3rd party operator, does nothing and is, as you imply, fake.

    It’s disappointing to me when people call out or nitpick people/companies who produce for the community. The flip side of that is having thick skin and moving on. Whenever you present something to the public there’s going to be people who don’t agree, no matter how much time or effort you put in. Just because it was a painstaking process doesn’t mean you’re exempt from criticism. Don’t take it personal. I don’t need your product, haven’t used it, but if it’s the real deal it won’t need to be defended.

    I just got back from the Overland West show in Flagstaff. My tranny shifted (this is a guess) about 900 times (3 times a mile) in 300 miles. Towing a 1200 lb trailer: Maintaining 75, I pick up speed in 3rd, shift to forth and slowly loose speed, shift to third pick up speed.....and on and on and on... I am so frustrated after 1900 miles total, I almost turned into a Ford dealer and picked up an F-150. AND I hate Ford!! For those who tow 4-5K trailers, are you leaving it in 3rd @ 5500 RPM and just ignoring the scream?? My JKU with the 3.6 Pentastar towed this trailer flawless. Sorry for the rant, but yes, we need 400 HP or something. What would worry me is if our engine had cast internals, might need piston oil squirters and who knows what else for a reliable turbo kit.....

    If you're towing a trailer, try driving 65.

    What puzzles me, is we why have the lowest rated hp from all those vehicles containing the 2gr-fks....

    everything in its class beats it on paper.
    Colorado Canyon 308 hp
    Ridgeline 280 hp
    Upcoming Ranger is expected to have 280 hp+
