    Aww yeah!

    You need a M/T Taco in your life. Just get an OR/Sport 4X4, no need for a fancy PRO :D.

    Throttle (and consistency thereof) has always been the central issue for me. I just hope a power tune will still allow reasonable tip in and good low speed control!

    Is this power map your solution to the OTTO requests you've been getting? Ie a better idea?

    Mat is out of the county right now that’s why it’s currently software only and you buy the cable tactrix because Mat is not able to stock and ship them right now. Quote from Mat: “Software only kits will be available soon, for people who would like to get the tune, you will have to purchase the OBDII cable separately ( from tactrix.com) until after I return from asia.”

    I can test if needed. Do you not have anyone local that is willing to let you do dev work with it? If you are ever on the east coast (NY area) and have access to a dyno I would gladly let you snag the truck for the day.

    to answer your questions :

    1. We have not modified the fuel to be too lean to cause excess heat or rise in EGT, and the ignition timing is appropriate to the octane ratings. The ECU also has strong adaptations for when knock occurs
    2. This is not a problem on the MT
    3. Not that I have heard, again I don't think this is a MT issue
    4. Absolutely you get access to future updates
    5. Fixed that, the cable must be bought separate
    6. 1 day? Right now software package only so the wait time is just how long tactrix takes to get you the cable (they are fast, so 2-3 days)
