    Most people who say this tune isn't worth $700 don't have much experience in how much tuning costs on other platforms and think that tactrix cables can be bought for $5 bucks at Wal-Mart.

    They also don't know that free continual development almost NEVER exists with other tune platforms.

    Mat, us real people know what your doing and appreciate it. Don't listen or bother with these other tools. Not worth our time and certainly not worth yours.

    Thanks.

    Ehh, I just can't be bothered to update it.


    Debatable.....especially if you're putting 91 in it. I sold the tune before I even planned on getting rid of the truck. I tried it and I will gladly say I would never spend $700 on the tune as it didn't do jack shit for me driveability wise. The updated Toyota flash did more and I went back to running 87 with little to no detonation.

    That is my level of apathy there. Welcome to the club.

    That is an interesting take. I agree that also in my case the TSB tune made a big difference, but there were some folks who felt it made no difference and a few who said that it made things worse. For me, the OV tunes made a similar difference and even more so now with the latest changes.

    On thing is for certain, and I experienced it. Two Tacos from the same year, on the came calibration, can feel 100% different. Pretty surprising considering Toyota and all.

    Does any of what you just said make sense? I'm bored and have an hour left at work so I'll gladly keep this going.

    He has his opinion, and that's that.
    Some people hate this truck so much nothing will fix it.

    Also, I didn't break my hand. Just to clear up that portion.
