    Spending the weekend in Salt Lake City. I have a few tunes lined up and have time for just a couple more! PM me if you're interested in the new KDMAX PRO V9 tune. It's been getting great reviews! People are loving their trucks with this tune!

    Great Saturday morning here in Salt Lake City! Tuned three Tacoma's and a 4Runner today and have another two tomorrow. The V9 KDMAX is crushing it!! Everyone is loving the way their trucks drive. I appreciate you all for scheduling a tune with me today!

    Today's two tunes went great! Nate and Dave (@Tucomuh) had awesome trucks and both left happy with their KDMAX V9 tunes. Thank you Salt Lake City for your hospitality. If anyone is interested in a KDMAX tune, I will be back in a few months. Let's get you scheduled!

    I did indeed leave very happy!
    Very impressed with the KDMAX. Had to stop after the tuning and check the VIN... just cannot believe the instant improvement!!

    Immediately hit the interstate, after goosing the throttle a few times and headed toward the first 3000' elevation test on my way home to Wyoming. Absolutely impressed at the smooth shifting and ability to hold speeds without mashing and jerking. I'm a believer!!!

    We discussed the bulk of tuned trucks and data coming from sea level and questioned the throttle response in a location where I live and drive. We've had snow storms with significant accumulation weekly since early November, and a fresh 2" this morning to verify that I need to re-educate my own throttle response, as its initially very easy to break loose in fresh snow on take off. I'll keep you posted as my wife and I get more mileage in the snow and how the Sport tune reacts.

    Thanks again!

    It was my pleasure! Thanks for the detailed review. The tune certainly does make it feel like you're driving a completely different truck in the best way possible! It's great to hear the changes were so noticeable. These guys, KDMAX crew, do a great job!! Enjoy!

    Thanks again Salt Lake City for your hospitality! Had a blast meeting some new people and seeing happy faces tuned with KDMAX! Had a few say they were considering trading in their trucks before the tune. That's why we do what we do! Great product with great customer service! See you next month, SLC!

    The KDMAX Tune provides an incredible improvement to the driveability of your truck. This month I met up with these owners to provide Grade A customer service and smiles with a Grade A tune. The team behind KDMAX is second to none. If you're on the fence about a tune for your truck, let me know and I will put you in contact with any of these folks that recently joined the ever-growing list of satisfied KDMAX truck owners!
    My next trip to Salt Lake City is April 21 and 22. Shoot me a PM if you would like a spot on the schedule!

    Had a blast this April with both local tunes here in Grand Junction, Colorado and remote tunes in Salt Lake City, Utah! There are 10 more happy KDMAX trucks on the road. From mostly stock, to regeared builds, I had a nice variety. KDMAX really does have something for everyone!

    Exciting News!
    KDMax-Pro-10.0

    The KDMax-Pro Tuning Group is proud to announce an updated, improved KDMax-Pro tune.
    This release is the result of extensive testing and monitoring by our group (and some customers trucks) over the last few months.
    We also were able to Dyno test a customer's truck to compare KDMax-Pro-10.0 and the Toyota stock tune.
    (Dyno pulls done in 4th gear).
    We were able to make significant improvements in multiple areas.

    -More power- HP+Torque gains throughout the RPM range
    -Improved/smoother throttle settings for better throttle control
    -Improved air/fuel settings for better MPGs
    -Improved shift settings for predictable shifting
    -Significant optimization of transmission behavior for better passing power on the highway
    -Overall improved DRIVABILITY!

    Pricing
    New customers that DIY with Vftuner can purchase the 3 file Tunepack for $300.
    Returning customers that are updating with Vftuner get the 3 file Tunepack for FREE by PMing @PapaRee or @TWTaco.
    All customers that were tuned by someone in our KDMax-Pro group will be able to get updated for $100.
