    This is soooo exciting! We don't even need THAT much power. Even if we make 200hp these trucks will be so much nicer. Hopefully whatever they release has a nice torque curve to it for daily driving.

    I'll add the 2.7L ECU to vF Tuner when we release for 3.5L, and you guys will be able to make your own tunes :)

    05-15 is 2nd gen. We can support all of those ECUs, but have to get the files first.

    You’re high if you think this tune will give you an extra 40hp

    Maybe I don't know enough about the subject, but we have so much displacement and pretty high compression. I figure Toyota under tuned to make the v6 more main stream, and maybe for emissions. Just my thoughts, but again I know nothing about tuning.

    Problem is that it's an Under square tractor engine. Might have better luck with adding a bit more torque but we'd need to modify the fuel system to get any significant improvements. And at that point we're killing fuel efficiency for a 200hp four cylinder at best.

    I was hoping messing with the VVTI, some timing advance and premium fuel would get us some decent gains. I guess we'll have to wait and see what we can get out of this motor. If the expectations can't be that high maybe long tube headers might be a worthy upgrade for me then.

    I'm regeared to 4.88s running 33s. I don't race the thing or have a heavy foot, but could use some useable torque in the low-end/mid range to go up hills without having to downshift.

    They detune to make engines last longer. Especially in trucks used for towing/hauling. Increased power decreases service life.

    That's true, I didn't account for tuning for Premium Fuel so there are possibilities there.

    Support will be confirmed for 2016 2.7L and 2017 2.7L, at this time.
