    How long is the learning process?

    Has anyone ran a full tank on 91 then another with octane booster and have seen a noticeable difference?

    K&D - I’m having a hoot since my last visit.

    Back story - My 21 post TSB update and 1st tune to Pro, I encountered oddities and felt wanting a tad more hmmph from a throttle response perspective.

    Dave’s kick ass customer service saved the day. Perhaps there was indeed an issue or not, doesn’t matter. I love the pro tune. The tune transforms your Tacoma.

    Toyota, Wake up! A simple SW modification can sell you hundreds and thousands of more TRD Pros to go along with the Fox suspension and forged wheels. The future of VIN lock software performance upgrades provided by the major manufacturers is soon to be upon us.

    Thanks Dave for taking care me on Black Friday! I finally hit Dave up after following this thread all year, and I just happen to live in the same city as Dave. I was at his home within an hour of contacting him, and in and out of his garage in about 20 minutes. He is awesome to talk with and hear the stories of the tuning process and how passionate he is about it. Just wish my truck was cleaner for the photo, but after the Santa Ana winds we had here this week, there was no escaping all of that dust.

    I am truly blown away at the difference!! Cannot believe I drove all over SoCal the past 5 years daily for work in a stock 2016 TRD Sport Tacoma that was SO neutered by Toyota and their "tune". Even leaving Dave's neighborhood over the speed bumps and getting back to the gas slightly I knew he had unlocked a hidden beast in the truck. That pedal response is just egging you to mash it down. Once I got out to the main streets, it was beyond obvious what a difference the tune he flashed had made. Unbelievable difference in pedal response and shifting smoothness. No more feeling the constant sluggishness and horrible shifts the truck always had. Then onto the 5 freeway and I could actually get up to speed so smoothly and quickly, I was not afraid of being run over by the usual Southern California freeway Autobahn pack! This truck was now leading the pack with ease!

    I let my 19 year old daughter take the truck to work yesterday about 15 miles away as I was working on her car at home. I warned her that it would feel allot better and different than before when she had driven it, and to let me know what she thinks. About 5 minutes later she called me and said "Dad....what did that guy do your truck?!?! I am almost scared to push the pedal down too far because this truck is a awesome now! I love it!" I told her to be careful with my new hot rod, lol!

    K&D Tuning has really hit it out of the park with this tune. Pound-for-pound, this is BY FAR the best upgrade anyone could make for their 3rd Gen Tacoma. They really did get the tune dialed in to a place that Toyota wishes they would have. Thanks again Dave for helping me and all Toyota owners who take the leap and let you work your magic on our vehicles! I am so glad I did!

    Thanks for squeezing me in Dave; very happy so far with the new Pro tune! While I really liked the 6.0, the Pro seems to have ironed out the shifting to be even more seamless, even in the only 40 miles I've driven on it. The lower end torque is definitely noticeable, as well as the smoother downshifts on the highway (i.e. when passing) and just overall increased responsiveness. Hard to believe you have improved upon the 6.0, but it has been done ! Looking forward to putting a couple more tanks of gas to let it fully learn. Thanks again!!!

He had been tuned back in April on 6.0 He had not been on TW for a while when he checked in he read all the great reviews on the new Pro and called me immediately to set up an appointment. Glad you did Walt enjoy the tune! Look forward to reading your review coming from 6.0.
