I can't believe there isn't a post on this forum about it yet. I have a tuner on the way for my Tundra and I am thinking about installing it on my wife's 2012 4runner first just to see what it will do. Has anyone used one yet? Am I missing the discussion about it somewhere? Maybe I am in the wrong sub-forum? Help me find and share some info. guys!!!

Thanks

There was a discussion on this last week I think. For some reason, probably e-thug flame wars, mods locked and hid the thread.

Hopefully this one remains civil.
 
NA Tundra guys aren't real impressed. The supercharged tune is killer, but for the price the NA tune kinda bites. It is giving around 15hp and a better feeling truck through shift improvements. If you have ever had a automatic tuned, you know what I mean. My dad had a 4.8 chevy and I had a 5.3. He took his to a tuner for a gas mileage tune. The tuner said the truck was right and he doubted he could get much gas mileage out of it, but he thought my dad would like driving it better because of the tranny changes. He was right. It just drove more responsively. I guess I will have to try out the 4runner with this thing, but I don't expect a lot more power.

If it works well I expect a slight power increase and a better feel with the tranny changes. Very welcome changes, just a little on the expensive side for such small ones.

I will have to wait until I get my tuner, and then wait until the weekend, but I will let you guys know how it goes. It would be really nice to gain something from a stop. Our 4r runs great running down the road, but I can tell it is a heavy truck with a v6 when pulling out. It just doesn't want to get moving.
 
I don't think they'll sell many of them at the $1000 they're charging. I won't buy one until they're under half that price. I'd rather put the cash towards more utilitarian mods.

Personally, I've found you can wrangle much better off the line performance if you put the tranny in sport mode and hold the shifts until you're just shy of the rev limiter. It takes practice, but it makes a difference once you know where that sweet spot is.

Let's just say I ran across a deal......

Anyway, I just installed it on my Tundra. Should be going on a short trip tomorrow so we will see how it does. Since I have it now, I should be able to switch it to my wife's 4runner this weekend. I'm not going to uninstall it from my Tundra and install it on her truck and not get to drive it myself.:rockon:
