    Yup.

    I had one of their tuners on my '06 Duramax.

    And for Diesel, yes... overfuel until you "roll coal", then bump the air supply to lean it out a bit.
    Nice thing about Diesel is if you go too lean, it just lays down and power output drops... you don't blow anything up.

    Unless........

    You happen to be gradually cranking the nitrous all night (adds air to allow for the overfueling), then realize that you forgot to turn your propane tank on (even MORE fuel!), so you turn the propane on and forget to turn the nitrous back down...

    They never did find the oil filter or the #8 piston.

    +1

    Tunes on a Tacoma only operate when the engine is in open loop (WOT).

    lol that video is exactly why if I was tuning something like that there is no way I would be doing it or let a random company off the internet do it. Reputable companies all day every day for me thanks.

    Frank was using reputable parts.
    Like I said, his mistake was gradually cranking the nitrous, getting "11 second fever", then realizing he forgot to open the pane bottle.

    There is a reason they call it "pane"
