    Anyone ever heard this. 2GR-FE in our trucks is the same as the Camry and Lexus right?

    265 lb/ft of torque for the Tacoma when the GS 350 produces 311 hp and 280 lb/ft of torque? Primarily, it’s the Tacoma’s tuning for regular gasoline versus the GS 350’s requirement for premium, combined with the truck’s prioritizing low-end grunt and maintaining torque versus the car’s more rev-happy, high-end power tuning.

    Ok...maybe I'm going down a rabbit hole, but here's a shop advertising a ECU tune

    Cars ECU is programmed differently than a truck with the same engine... nothing new here....

    Get your ECU flashed and report back! GL

    2GRFE is a different valvetrain than 2GRFKS.
    I did find what Matt at OVTuned had to say about the octane, fuel, spark, and load maps...compelling.
    Although, he is wanting to expand his lineup of >3.5L Toyota tunes. It's why I asked in another thread if the Main ECU was a Denso or not.
