Coyoza Tune Development and Feedback

these last posts are some of the "more perspective" you refer to, so again, I'm not sure what you're on about.

you are an AT owner, so you haven't had any kind of sufficient seat time to assess anything driveability regarding the MT trucks, and don't bother trying to convince otherwise as nobody here gives that credibility. we've been round & round with specific driveability issues for years, just not shift-related like you guys.

every couple months or whatever there's an AT driver who elbows his way into a MT discussion on TW and looks somewhat foolish. you are not preaching to your own choir over here.

i hear your point, but those of us who have real seat time with both are clear that you are not experienced with the difference as a MT driver.

on a personal note, Kreg gave me terrific customer service, and i have appreciated him for that as well as his tune. i got the same from Marc and have appreciated his work more as you'd expect from reading my impressions.

 

I understood/understand your point.

I also fully understand that you are making statements based off of feedback from your own customers.

However, no one here has knocked down a competitor's tune without perspective, because the reviews and statements here are full of perspective from people who have KD on their truck now, or have personal experience on more than one tune for their truck. My own perspective is based on observation of those experiences, review of their feedback.

I am not discounting your own experiences and observations. But when you say that you have driven the tuned MT's, I will ask if you have daily driven them for hundreds of miles. Because little discrepancies or quirks and behaviors of these trucks and tunes are not always immediately apparent.

You said it yourself when you mentioned honeymoon phases. They exist. I'm not being condescending, I promise you this, when I ask if you yourself were in a honeymoon phase while test driving your customers newly tuned trucks? I believe you have an AT, no? Do you drive a manual often enough to narrow down what it should feel like on a consistent basis, and what areas may need to be addressed?

Edit: I really am not coming across as condescending as I truly no longer have any meaningful dog in this fight, so to speak. I am obviously proud of what I accomplished, I stand by it confidently, but it is truly out of my hands and no longer a product that I control in any way. You're speaking to someone who is little better than a customer with personal experience on the tune at this point, so please do not assume that I am talking down to you with my above comments.

 

I trust and value my on-going customer feedback who do in fact have the miles logged. I feel their feedback is being discounted in this thread because 'I' own an AT. So, I will continue to reach out to every one of my MT & AT customers to collect their testimonies and ensure that if KDMAX XT is lacking based on all their responses that we work to offer a better tune option for them. That's what competition is for, to make our tunes all better. Your personal and professional opinions are not wrong, I just have others that do not share the same sentiment and again based on the post I originally replied to I felt it was reasonable to offer that perspective.

 

we are comparing the two tunes, man! you are simply saying your people say one is good, but they are not comparing... unless I'm just missing it. we don't care for a one sided sales pitch over here, many of us have experience with both and many others.

 

I truly value all your comments. One thing I have learned is to accept other perspectives and differences. Our experience and opinions certainly can lead to no one being wrong or no one even being right at times. I appreciate all you have done on TW and hopefully continue to do in other ways going forward. You've encourage me to seek out any deficiencies with KDMAX XT and work within our group and the current owners to ensure we have a competitive option. I'll let ya know what comes out of it

 

Just to confirm, will Coyoza run fine on 87 octane?

 

Yes.

The maps are octane learning and based off of OVT 2.0 SFOB Reg.

 

I am so excited cvc and coyoza have paired up. I'm currently running the ov superFOB reg tune on my 21' MT and am getting the coyoza tune done next weekend by Chan Chan. Can't wait to see the difference

 

Got the Coyoza tune from @chanvchau last Sunday, and in 1st gear between 1-4k rpms, it's like a restrictor plate has been removed, or like I had been towing a trailer of cinder blocks previously.

Before it would struggle to accelerate and take ~3-4 seconds to get up to 4k where the power is, and now it takes ~1-2 seconds to get up to 4k. It accelerates like a normal car now. I have to watch the throttle or I can break traction.

 

Lol

Happy to hear you're liking the tune!

 

Hey all. I’m very interested in this tune but I have no idea of how to do it myself. So I guess what I’m asking is there anyone near southern Ohio that could do it for me.

 

That's the only way to build a proper tune for M/T

Hey everyone. Just got back from Chan Chan tuning my truck with the coyoza tune. I am coming from the OV 87 superFOB tune. My initial thoughts are great. So far this tune feels like it has a much smoother throttle response in 1st and 2nd. With the OV tune my truck would tend to have a herky jerky feel in 1st. Another thing I noticed was it feels more powerful in the lower rpm. I normally have to downshift a couple times when merging onto a different highway, but didn't have to do that today. I'll post a better comparison when I get more seat time, but wanted to give some initial thoughts.

 

If true, this is a game-changer and exactly what's needed - am booked in to get the Coyoza tune next wk. I'm running the SFOB 87 and was impressed at first (honeymoon) but it seriously lags in 1st & 2nd low rpm (yes I know, rev the fooker high!), and 1st in 4H is brutal, bogs down. Hoping the Coyoza performance carries over into 4H as well...

 

I’m on KDMax XT currently and am not dissatisfied however it sounds like Coyoza is preferred. Getting the KDMax was my first experience in any kind of vehicle tuning and the difference from stock was much improved. Wondering if anyone is offering tunes near Memphis or north Mississippi?

 

@chanvchau

 

Got the Coyoza, been driving it for about a week. Was on the SFOB prior. Coyoza drastically changes the 'dead' spot in low rpm in 2nd which is a big plus. Also provides drastically improved throttle responsiveness across the board, in all gears and through the full range of rpms. I don't have to gear down to pass, just give it a bit of gas and she goes. Feel like the truck is finally at a reasonable state of driveability. You're still dealing with an undergunned 3.5L but its now as good as it gets. I haven't tried it on the mountain passes (long, steady hills) yet but anticipate she'll be fine.

 

Does the Coyoza tune help a stock mt on 33s that is absolutely gutless on taking off. I live in hilly terrain and taking off on a slope is almost more than the rig can handle. Looking for a tune to help the truck down low.
