    "So my butt dyno is saying trucks a little flat at first acceleration with the new @OVTune catted dump tubes and @urd uspec exhaust.


    The (flatness during first acceleration) is on a 2.0 tune or Mine and PapaRee's tune?

    Is one tune or the other better? Just trying to figure out why one may be better than the other. @Jbrentb

    I’ve never ran a ov tune. I’ve only ran one tune the 3.1 m+w premium fuel.
    I just installed ovtunes CATTED DUMP TUBES recently. and that’s when I’ve noticed the dip off first acceleration.
    So catted dump tubes and urd u spec exhaust.
    Thanks for replying.

    Butt dyno isn't very reliable and I don't know what your Mild and Wild tune does or changes

    It's not the tune I'm concerned about. It's why did the dump tubes seem to slow him down. But you're 100% correct. Butt dyno could need calibration.

    i can see how some may think the M&W tune is a little flat of the line, but it’s a STELLAR tune. I had a pretty peppy premium tune before loading the M&W. It’s by far my favorite tune.

    Is there a .Vft tune that is better off the line I could dig in to? I'd love to find out how to make mine better! Always down for improvement...

    @Mooseditty17 @OVTune

    yes butt dyno not accurate. I’m just stating what I feel. And it FELT better without tubes. So in my mind there could use a tweak in some map to help. Again I’m guessing, with my set up only 2 high flow catts. I was on the 3.1 tune before catts and love the whole thing. It’s just when the pipes went on. Something needs to be adjusted tune wise. Could be totally wrong.
    IJMO thanks

    I'm pretty sure I saw a few posts that said they needed the specific dump tube tune after installing the tubes. One guy said it really tanked his mileage on the regular 2.0 tune.

    @OVTune is getting into the 2021 2.7L ecu still hopeless or is it something you think could happen eventually?

    Are to have us believe that you never downloaded one of Moose's tunes and compared it to yours ? Come on you - you wizard you , you know what's different . It has to be hard for you to not comment .
    :rofl::rofl::rofl:
    Looking forward to the tune switching/towing / performance tune coming . Happy New Year !

    Hello, I just flashed my 2019 trd sport 04B50 premium, stock, THX and didn't notice an acceleration or pedal sensitivity change. Can someone share any tips on modifying the tune?

    Did you clear your learned values? I'd try doing that.

    Yes I cleared the AT and LV. The truck feels the same after tune. Maybe a little different shift points. I could re flash and clear the values again?

    Well if only we had a 2.0 performance, premium gas with gear lock and catted dump tubes tune from @OVTune to flash.....
    :fingerscrossed::anonymous:
    And I did buy the 3.5 tune pack as well!

    edit: nope I guess just me. Lol

    I'm probably in the wrong section here, but, ya, not a computer guy. LOL I just started to install ov tune. Am I missing something, or do you have to send info back to Matt twice? I did first stage a month ago to get registered, but now it looks like I had to send another piece of info back so I could get actual tune files?

    You need to request a reg key, the master key is sent automatically

    if you purchased the tune pack, you need to request that once you’ve identified your ecu.
