    Anyone who is familiar with HPTuners and similar style tuners is pretty aware that a lot of this stuff is configured in the same way to allow maximum utilization of the OEM engine PCM/ ECU. Looking through these base map tables on my dedicated tuning laptop, I am noticing TunerPro is configured in the same fashion.

    I want to create this thread as a general discussion and hang out thread for all the other guys out there running OVTuners self tuning version tuners to help any guys in need of technical tuning assistance. All the same for the guys with questions (much like myself) provide this thread as a place to ask these questions and get a knowledgeable answer. I know the tuner is fairly new to the market, so this thread may take a while to get off the ground and running, but this will allow a solid base thread for all to consult to in order to both give help or request for help when needed.

    I have never manually tuned a car or truck to this extent myself. I am attempting to figure out how to datalog on this software. It would be good to see where my values are on this TRD tune.

    Gainzzzz!!!

    I saw that. There are certain ECU's that are not unlocked by OVTune yet. It turns out that yours happens to be one of them. I think the newest 2nd gens like your own have them.

    Give him time. He is a very busy man, and I believe his business is one man as he is the master tuner and the man who deals with the customers on the front end as well.

    Like I literally just got the final XDF filefor the fully uploaded base map to mess with the numbers yesterday from him. I ordered this thing close to over a month ago, and just received it like two or three weeks ago. To give you an idea of how quickly things move along with him.

    Like I was saying it will take a while to get things off the ground and rolling, but it is worth the wait.

    Not right now. I haven't had a good chance to play with it as I have been busy with other stuff.

    Like this forum. I just bought a 2015 supercharged 4x4 dblcab on 35s. Amazing! But I want more! Starters I want the coolant cai, then the right tuner, 2.85 pulley I think. Maybe water injection? Etc.... appreciate any feedback.
