    So after roughly 500 miles on the KDMax Pro 9 it's literally like a completely different truck. Fun to drive again, shift points are spot on and so much smoother.
    Absolutely amazing!!! Thanks to PapaRee and everyone who had a hand in this.

    Just had my ‘21 TRD Sport tuned by @Madmax702 and noticed an immediate difference. No more “gear hunting” and awesome low-end torque gains. Looking forward to the rest of the learning phase as my truck settles in. Stoked!

    You'll see more throttle opening for a given accelerator input at moderate/high loads. Helps alot If you climb long steep inclines at high speeds. A few percents of the throttle make a difference.

    @Vlady just to confirm an observation you mention a while back.

    You stated that the Sports throttle seemed to be smoother on tip in than Normal.

    I have since tested that on two customers truck and my personal in the last week. Nothing scientific but based strictly on feel. The customers and myself believe you to be right! The Sport throttle adds a touch more pep but seemed smoother.

    Oddly, the previous version was the opposite.
    But I like this version of sport. There are some flat spots, but overall it suits my driving habits and local terrain. Mpgs are getting better too.

    On all the tune files we make the ECT hold gears slightly longer and slightly more throttle. Good for towing, fun and when you have more load (hills, weight, etc.)

    Just call the person who did your tune. It is available to them. No charge for you to change throttle choice.

    Shot over to Glenwood Springs yesterday to get this customer tuned. This text message afterwards is a testament to how great the KDMAX tune is!

    Has anyone else noticed that combining ECT Power with traction control off, that their Tacoma has a much better acceleration than just with ECT Power alone? Could be a butt feel thing but it definitely feels different with the combination.

    Does the KDMax Tune do anything to the traction control functionality(I assume not but just curious)?

    You are correct, we cannot do anything to the traction control.
