Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Those are some heavy ass sliders. Who makes them? I have the BAMF sliders with a kick out and they weigh 100# total and are some of the most solid I have ever seen. I also have a winch and bumper which totals about 130#. I would say throw it in S drive and hold gear at that speed if needed, but currently 1.03C tune seems to stay in gear up to 4000rpms until you let your foot off at that speed...I don’t seem to notice any lag

What size tires are you running? 285’s will slow you down which is why a lot of multi purpose driver/wheeler/trail riders go with 255’s

 

Flash back to stock with that extra weight on there if you want a true comparison Guarantee you the truck is pulling the extra weight was better than it would stock. I remember when i put my rolling (aluminum) tonneau, 90lbs worth of steps, and the ~45lb prinsu on my truck and while the overall weight was only 225ish lbs I felt like it weighted the truck down so much, but I adjusted (stock). I'd let it settle in a bit and if you are really curious how much the tune is helping you, flashing back to stock will eradicate any of your thoughts of such things...

 

Budbuilt from Hickory, NC. I’m running 265/75/16, however they are E loads... I work for Firestone so with my discount I had not other choice, they don’t make them in a C load.

 

I just swapped my stock Goodyears for Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 in 265/75/16 and there's a noticeable loss of power on the 87 tune. Truck is obviously more sluggish. I'm waiting for the new update before switching to the 91 tune.

 

Which is why my next tire might be 255/85-16, which is close to the same weight as 265/75-16, but have a thinner width which has been reported to be better for power, MPG's, trail riding, and icy (not snowy) roads

 

Ive got 255-85-16 they dig well.

I even regeared to 4:88 . its getting low 15mpg, Unless I drive like a grandma. I just turn the display to something else so I don't think about how full size trucks gets the same gas milage with 100 more hp and torque. I will probably get a Magneson SC when they quit teasing and release one.

 

Which tires? What lift? Any backspacing? Are you OVTuned? and pics please

 

Cooper sst maxx cab mount and fender chop, 3" front 5"rear 1.25 spidertrax wheel spacers, they still rub in reverse and turning into steep driveways / rock crawling on the cab seam. I have an OVTunes backordered

 

With OME 888 springs and SPC arms adjusted for clearence. This is off topic pm me if you want to know more things.

 

The squirrels are talkin :O

 

This might be a dumb question but the gas station that I go to close to my house only has 92 octane gas...is this going to be ok on the 91 tune? I haven't checked any other gas stations but I'm guessing they're the same since all our gas comes from one of two refineries here. Thanks!

 

You'll be fine

 

It is always ok to run higher octane gas than is required...

 

Shit you’re right. Forgot we were on this thread. My bad people

 

Ok Thanks!

 

Ordered a couple of weeks ago, when tuning for the first time is it recommended to do 87 first? If so for how long before flashing to 91?

 

It doesn't matter. Flash 91 if that's what you wanna run.

 

It is fine. Look at the tune as 87+ and 91+ but if you are running the 91 tune dont run lower

 

Just try 87 before you do 91, you will be surprised.

 

I was trying to wait until the new tune before reflashing, but I couldn't wait...just updated to 91.

Knowing Murphy's Law, the new tune should be dropping any moment now...you're all welcome. lol
