    He's already on top of it, gave me a couple to try out, just didn't want to bother if it was a learning thing on my end. I got out of turning wrenches (on cars) in the early 90's so this stuff is kinda new to me.

    I may end up doing this as well/ I had @MGMSangTaco install the KDMAX 6.0 on my truck a few days ago and want to give it some time to see if I can adjust to the throttle response. Overall I think the tune is amazing and am really impressed with the shifting and the lack of gear hunting now. Kudos to @MGMSangTaco on his abilities and responsiveness for installing it on my truck here in Denver. I do find at slow speeds and even on take off there is a little more neck snapping than I would like. It would be nice if there was a little more foot pedal movement in relation to how fast things happen. If I find my foot and brain just cannot synch enough to smooth things out I might also ask @PapaRee to see if he can smooth out the tip in a little more, though I have no idea how that might tie in to other performance parameters. Could also be I am just getting old and don't have any fine motor skills anymore.

    Should have mentioned that I did have the light tip in one installed. I must just be heavy footed

    If I’m not mistaken, the light tip is the performance .( light push on the pedal gets up and go which I like but needs some time to get used to. )

    LT=Light throttle tip in.
    The LT has lower throttle at 0-10% on 1st-3rd gear. It is LESS throttle at take-offs from a start and low speeds.

    Sounds like some people need a KDMellow tune. If/when I decide to spring for it, that's probably what I'd want.

    I’ve decided I like the regular tip in. 2 days and still loving it. She purrs with the intake and the exhaust. Making the other tacos jealous for sure.

    I requested a throttled down version for myself too. I love it! I have 5.29 gears and it will go 90+mph without cutting off the throttle. :101010:@PapaRee

    Yes you can decrease the throttle on Manuals.

    I knew it could be adjusted in general but didn’t know if it can be by individual gear like the autos. (Didn’t know if the ecu knows what gear I’m in at any given time) Definitely would not want a decrease personally. 1st is near perfect but 2nd through 6th could have a little bump in my opinion. Not a gripe! Just wondering out of curiosity for future iterations
