    Dallas Fort Worth area people:

    SATURDAY, MAY 8TH 11AM-3PM IN IRVING
    EXACT ADDRESS GIVEN ONCE YOU HAVE SIGNED UP AND PROVIDED YOUR TRUCK INFO

    The tuning process takes about 15 minutes once we actually get to your truck so you can hang out and chat or get tuned and drive off. Should be a pretty quick event with only 10 trucks - we can easily fit many more in that time frame so spread the word!

    No time slots, just show up and get tuned within 11am-3pm.


    Myself and the tune creator, @PapaRee will be there to tune your Tacoma and answer any questions and just talk Tacoma shop, etc...

    Great! The event will almost definitely be on a Saturday, possibly a Sunday. Likely in early/mid May, if it happens at all - just depends no when we get to 10+ trucks!

    If the event doesn't happen we can meet in San Marcos in the future and get you tuned :thumbsup:

    Didn't even realize you were in San Antonio. I could go there too, but I have family in Dallas I could go see.

    We can work something out no doubt. If you'd like to get together before the tune event, let me know, no problem - but... try and make the event :D

    The tune is $300 flat, but if enough trucks show up to the event, we will very likely give a discount - all dependent on how many trucks show up!

    Excuse my ignorance on tuning. My understanding is that KDMax has four different files. Do we need to know what we want prior to the tuning event or can we test the different files? Also, what happens if we later decide to go from Premium to Regular gas?

    On that note--- anything specific for ethanol free premium? Not always running it but as often as possible--- it's for sale all over Oklahoma and some spots in Texas. I know carbs don't enjoy the ethanol gunk.

    I would suggest that anyone getting tuned, get the "Regular tune" , they are octane learning and will adjust up and down. The specific Premium tune is just adjusted higher. The other choices are just Lighter throttle. So if you do a quick test drive and the throttle is too aggressive, you can choose the lighter throttle version.

    If you don't have the ability to change your tune in your own truck, choose the one with the most to offer without having to put specific types of gas in.
    This would be the "Reg KDMax tune"
