    Do you have the values you entered for the spots in VF?

    Phase duty 7 13.6 - 102.39
    Phase duty 9 - 90
    Phase duty 10 14.7 max 2 - 102.39
    Disable control set to 0 - 3.57
    Base phase additional additive - 0

    Everything I did is in my post I quoted above:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/vf-tuner-for-the-3-5l-tacoma.662948/page-192#post-24111805

    only I set 30-168 to 94 instead of 93. If it’s not shown in the images in my post that I quoted, I didn’t change it.

    @OVTune

    is there anything wrong with these values for an AGM battery? Feedback on here has me second guessing and I don't want to assume anything. Thanks

    The .VFT file is exactly the same as the .P5F of the same description, except user adjustable correct?

    Ok. So I adjusted the Accelerator throttle request map. Multiplied all but the 89.9s by. (* 125) 25%.

    See how twitchy the old girl gets. I kinda want it to feel like, how far I press down, is how far the throttle body opens. My dad's first gen tundra seemed like it had more power than my 2nd gen just because of the excellent throttle response. Even though the 2nd gen had 45 more ponies.

    Just went for a spin. I like it! Might even adjust the lower middle to middle upper sections a tad higher.

    This shit rocks!

    Well done @OVTune, @Rafael@OVTune

    Is there a way to effectively eliminate the Atkinson's cycle with VF Tuner? I want full available power at all times. Also, what is the AICS? What the sudden surge of power with this? It kinda reminds me of my two stroke motocross days... but I'd like to get as much low end grunt outta this bitch as possible. Such a turd on the low end. I'm probably too scared to try what the answers are for all of this, and the soon to come performance tunes pretty much alleviate these issues right?

    You can run one of the SFOB tunes (super full Otto, version B) tunes to eliminate the Atkinson cycle.
    SFOB for Premium fuel will give you the most torque down low that you can get without forced induction.

    AICS is Toyota's version of a variable length intake manifold system. It can be tweaked to engage at various RPMs, but Mat
    has said there is definitely a sweet spot, and that is what he programmed.

    Where can I find this magical SFOB you speak of? What's better about the 2.0?

    Well, you'd need an MT.

    That will be available in the Tow tune when it is released.

    Little more drive time on my 2.0 premium stock THX 35 AGM tune and it seems to stay around 14.4 V all the time. That’s about where I was aiming so I’m going to leave it for a bit.
