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.

DIY/Remote Tune Kits

Note from Dyno operator:

Hey guys, Jacob here with DyNomad.
I'll post up some key notes about the Dyno.
First off, you cannot compare different vehicles, on different days, with different dynos, running in different gears. You will only go around in circles with someone trying to nit pick the results. It is pointless to compare a stock trucks power output using a Dynocom Dyno to a stock truck using a Dynojet. It is universally accepted that Dynojets are the highest reading dynos on the market. This is why so many tuning companies prefer them, because the average consumer is too naïve to understand that the peak power output a dyno shows is arbitrary.
What a dyno does is shows a delta. That is the only factor that matters. It wouldn't matter if this dyno showed that it made 100hp, the delta would still be the same percentage of change between the runs. Only focus on the gains over stock. If 10.0 makes 20 more hp than stock on this dyno, it will make 20 more hp than stock on a dynojet.
The 3rd gear vs 4th can skew results. The real reason why most people use 3rd in these trucks is because of wheel speed. In 4th we ran this truck to 140mph, clinching our buttcheeks the whole time. At these speeds, driveshaft failure can occur from critical speed failure. Fortunately, we didn't have that problem, we just sent it for the science. When someone uses a non 1:1 ratio in the trans, or close to it, the torque values are usually misrepresented. Now, this can be corrected depending on the type of pickup that is used by the dyno operator. I would assume that the other guys used an optical pickup on the crank, or possibly an inductive pick up on the coil wire. IF they used that, the results are not so skewed, but if they used something called "snapshot" which relies on the synchronization of the wheel speed in 1:1 gear vs the roller speed, the results can be very skewed. Either way, 3rd gear is a torque multiplier. I guarantee if they ran in 4th, the results would not be the same.
People are going to get hung up on the overall peak power output and see that others show a higher number. There is unfortunately nothing that can be done about it. They did however use a lower correction factor that will read a little lower, which is surprising. They used SAE, we used STD. Its a subtle difference, but its there.
The big take away from this is the smoothness of the curve with the KD Max Tune. You can quite literally feel the difference. Look at the power difference under the curve between stock and 10.0. It is massive in some spots. You can clearly tell where the stock ecu is pulling timing around max torque. It is too conservative. The 10.0 keeps timing in there, maybe a slight adjustment after peak tq, and then ramps it back in. Stock wavers a bit. This is due to being on 87 octane. Others were on 91 octane. If we were to run this truck on 93, the difference would be even more substantial, but then again the stock tune would also increase in power.
Happy to answer anymore questions you guys may have. Remember, you are not selling these tunes for HP gains. You are selling drivability enhancements, the added hp and tq are just the icing on the cake!




- More usable and noticeable low end torque
- Octane learning--good for Regular or Premium gas.
- Improved/smoother shifting.
- 4Lo tested- smooth and strong at low speeds.
- Throttle improvement with 3 options.

Throttle Choices
1. Sport throttle- Aggressive, linear but optimized for less jerky low speed
2. Normal throttle- Used for Daily Driving but aggressive and linear
3. Lite throttle- A little more than Stock throttle but optimized to be linear and smooth

Mine
Only because I want to be post 2.

wow this has blown up.

 

@SearArtist I'll be ready for this next week

@PapaRee Do you recommend anyone near Houston Texas? Buddy just got a 2021 and he "needs" it tuned. My words

 

@Phich is in San Antonio, only 2.5 hours away. Maybe faster if he uses the tune.

Reach out to me for the new KDMax tune!

 

Congratulations guys! Awesome work I’m sure. Looking forward to getting this tune setup on my ol’ girl!

 

I’m sure this has been mentioned in the other hundred something page forum but how does KDMAX compare to ovtune 2.0? Just got 2.0 last week too...

 

Good job buddy!

 

It is a HUGE difference over 2.0.
More power, smoother/predictable shifting, more throttle.
You won't be disappointed.

 

Dyno tested to show more power?

 

I knew someone would ask! We are working on getting scheduled in with the Dyno people... maybe FriYay? @TWTaco what say you?

 

Soon!
Just subjective power for now.
Kruiser is Dyno tested, and it was used as the base for this tune.

That guy was asking about power over 2.0.

 

Is there still rev hang for days in the manual? Or did you work some magic?

 

Yes as soon as we can.

 

I just snagged the manual version of this, gonna try it out tomorrow, let you know

 

@b3itz is running it.
He says it is better. But never completely gone.

He says
"I just wrapped up 5 tanks of fuel on the tune you sent me - it's so linear and smooth through the entire RPM range. Very awesome!
It's very peppy, smooth, and felt great!"

 

Would you recommend KDMax for Manuals?

 

I have one guy on it and he loves it!
He has ran 5 tanks on it.

Other than that, I can say that I incorporated the changes that I could from the Kruiser and from the KDMax auto.

 

Appreciate it! Gonna message @RedLantern

 

Option for gear lock too?
