    So. Many. Stickers.
    You could burn rubber in first if you take all the traction nannies off. With the ADM done.
    It takes work though.

    first gear is low enough ill fully engage the clutch and be at crawl. then punch it.

    the nannies will definitely cut in on the fun

    ovtune is well worth the investment IMO. it makes the truck so much better.

    It seems like the ov tune makes it much more fun, from all of your guys' posts. I would like to get it yes, just not my first priority right now. Who doesnt want more power ha!

    I read somewhere that Ov will focus more on turbos and stop selling tunes, is that true?

    Hahaha! If you used the stickers, then you are set with +30hp at least. :D

    My axle dump sounds like +20 down low and like a turbo upgrade up top. No sticker for that though.


    The Torque app has a nice 0-60, 1/8mi, and 1/4mi timer that starts as sound as you move. I think there is one app that shoots a vid with the data overlaid?

    Personally, I like 5-60s just to not abuse things, but apps don't do that and the numbers are hard to compare.

    you can still purchase the 2.0 tune. hes currently rolling out new software so people can create and modify tunes. there will be examples but you can also buy the current tune pack.

    Sort of. They are transitioning to a new software format while still supporting the original purchasers. In the end, it looks like it will cut the cost of tuning in about half, or less depending.

    Hahahaha!

    It's easy stuff. You just need an OBD adapter. The Carista one is cheap and gives you the same ability as TechStream to do customizations.

    Has anyone mailed back their dongle and received the VF tuner yet? I'm pretty sure that's the way to go but I'm having dongle separation anxiety!

    I couldnt figure out how to order the flash kit or the handheld?

    The problem is that I have Macbook and iPad Pro. DO I need PC laptop to run the OVT Tune on my tacoma?

    You've gotta wait for the vF Tuner to be available.

    Run Windows in a BootCamp partition on your Macbook.
