    Compiling the list!
    I started with Two versions of the Orange Virus Tunes. They were ok but the throttle response and shift points weren’t nearly as good as the KD Max. The 9.0 with AGM is amazing, both my batteries were charging at 14.4v and it doesn’t slam down two gears on every freeway overpass.

    The KDMax-Pro tuning group has always been about "drivability." This means predictable, smooth shifting, aggressive, linear throttle, MPG's as good or better than stock, all while keeping the Toyota reliability that we all know and love. We just want people/customers to enjoy driving their truck.
    We are not about making the most power or having the best Dyno sheets. We monitor our trucks on the road and off-road to make sure we have good temps, pressures, knock values, etc..
    We do not use our competitors’ name to advertise or compare tunes.
    We do not bash our competitors.
    We try our best to stay out of comparison debates or arguments about "which tune is the best?''
    We let our good customer reviews sell our tune.

    If someone does not agree or like this business model, they are welcome to either stay on the stock tune or buy the competition tunes (they are all good!)

    Dyno results have always been part of our process. We have dyno'd multiple trucks on every version of our tune. But every time we post a dyno chart on social media, it causes debates and arguments. No matter how good the dyno chart is, it can be criticized. Our group would rather stay away from the negativity. We have 1000's of happy customers and will continue to stay away from the bashing of tunes or even talking about them.

    With all this said, please keep this thread about KDMax. We will not get involved in conversations about our competitors.

    To me, anyone that bashes their competitors to try to make a good name for themselves isn't that great, and they're product is actually not as good as the competitor that they're bashing. Just my .02.

    As a provider of KDMAX Pro tunes I have a choice to not be a provider of KDMAX Pro tunes.....but I have no reason to do any such thing.

    Thank you @PapaRee and @TWTaco for continuing to evolve what all my customers know to be the best product so I can offer the best services to them!

    Every time I feel the pressure of the what if’s “What if my tune is lacking in HP?”, “What if I don’t have the best TQ?” Or “What if their Dyno sheet looks better?”

    I go drive my truck and all the what ifs go away…:D

    Yeah everyone has a damn preference and own opinion. Jesus Christ who F-ing cares as long as the person or customer is happy leave it alone . I'm more about linear power curve. Usable throttle range. I'm happy with what tune my truck has and I improve those results with bolt on applications that further help the tune . Yeah I have people ask me all the time about who's what and what's best . Really boils down to what you want "the customer". Do my best to explain to people what is it your wanting . Not one of us should have to be forced to push a a tune and talk up a tune . Experience's are better than opinions. I do my best to give in details exactly what I experience in any improved tune , any tune . Consultant's are to be open to any product on the market, in this case tunes . I hope this is understanding to all and certain people that are reading this and you know who you are . Quit the high school bullshit . We are all in the same community and love what work is done . What really torques my chain is paying for a service and signing contract and being denied updates to the service you paid for . Horrible business practice and yes I'm talking to you . If your reading this . Phhhh misled my ass I was gonna stay silent but no more I'll continue to point customers in the right direction rather it be one tune or the other . Consult customers cause I want whats best for them . For f sakes can't we all get along .

    My favorite line from my favorite movie Tropic Thunder “never go full retard” well I did…..Anderson Engineering Solutions LLC mani spacer, Tp spacer, Hps tube, trd filter, KDMAX PRO

    I didn’t bother to take install photos because I was jamming out to megadeth and enjoying working on my truck to much to stop.

    if your going to install the Anderson Spacer best get that harness out the way more than 1/2’’ as they say & you’ll need two people to install the manifold. Realigning those manifolds bolts is sketchy! Don’t drop anything in the runners !!!!
    SAY HELLO TO LOW END MID END TORQUE. *Butt dyno says about 15% to 20% increase down below After Anderson Install *
