    ** NOW OFFERING MCBAutotech's Elite Performance Calibrations **

    I recognize it's not always practical to drive to Suffolk, VA to get excellent service to improve your Toyota unoptimized shifting and throttle behavior. Here's a great opportunity to save some drive time if you live in northern part of the state. Contact me today to grab a time for one of our locations, meet some fellow owners, and talk tacos all while getting the improved driving dynamics you wanted when you purchased your truck!

    Please consider Tidewater Customs, LLC, providing Elite Performance tunes today!
    Site: https://tidewatercustoms.com
    Remote Tunes: https://tidewatercustoms.com/remote-tuning

    With over (850) Tacomas saved there's lot of reasons to choose an aftermarket calibration. Since 2018 I've been investing in tuning options and improvements for my 2016 SR5. The difference today is improve shifting, low end torque, acceleration response, and overall enhanced driving.
    If you are struggling with the stock performance or if you think regearing is the only option please reach out. It's free to talk options and with the success of all the owners I have worked with from stock to overland setups I am confident it what I can do to help you!

    I offer the latest calibration options across Virginia and beyond!

    ------------------------------------------------------------
    LIMITATIONS
    - speedo adjustments for tires/gears are not possible without a Hypertech device.
    - dyno tuning it not possible through my services but these calibrations are thoughtful developed on the road/dyno and hands on testers

    COST & SERVICES
    refer to website for details: https://tidewatercustoms.com

    I encourage you to look in your area for local tuning services to assist you in getting the most out of your truck. I have learned a lot from the community members sharing their own tuning results and knowledge. It is because of this forum and those willing to work together that I am able to offer the best tune possible for your truck!

    Chris came by early this morning to get his 2020 setup on KDMAX Pro today. With 275/55R20s, 3" lift, and a bumper/winch up front there's a bit more weight to move than stock. Fortunately, the custom tune is well up to that task. Enjoy the tune Chris!

    This is Ryan's new 2022 Sport with 63 miles on the odo with the TRD lift and KO2's (285s w/laces out). Ryan came out to our recent tune event and went with KDMAX Pro+ and the lite throttle for that smooth take off and linear acceleration on demand so now it can run as good as it looks!!

    Matt brought his automatic 2021 Tacoma to us with the same concerns as most of the owners we work with.... lacking acceleration and poor shifting. He drove away happy with KDMAX Pro+ and plans to do some more mods now that his truck is performing like it should!

    Contact me today for an appointment or to get setup for an event in your area!

    With 4k miles logged, Scott did his research, asked a lot of great questions, and then chose KDMAX Pro+ for his new Trail Edition Tacoma. The smile on his face after his test drive was the response expected!

    Ricardo brought his 2020 by for KDMAX Pro+. After test driving the normal throttle setting he opted for a bit more punch with the sport throttle to get his 285s, front/rear aftermarket bumpers, and sliders moving like never before!

    For owners in Virginia, contact me today for an appointment or to get setup for an event in your area! www.tacomatuning.com. For other locations please find your local KDMAX Pro resource here: https://kdmaxprotuning.com/locations
