The part where you wrote 93, did you mean 91? Or 93 to mix it with the 89 to get closer to 91?Got my tune files in today. My tank has 89 in it right now (half tank), but I want to flash it 91. Cab I flash it 91, and stop at the local and top it off with 93, or should I just flash it 87, run a few tanks of 91, and then flash again?

But from what I’ve read you would be fine if you flash it 91 and use up the remainder of that 89. Personally though, I would wait until the 89 is closer to empty, fill up with the 91, then flash it for the first time. Just to be consistent and not be questioning variables like this. Cause then might be thinking it is running rough cause you mixed gas when it probably isn’t at all.
I'm pretty happy. It's amazing it holds 6th now. LMAOI went ahead and flashed it 87, then took it for a drive. I'll wait for a while before I write out my full thoughts, but right now, first impression is very good. I'm going to run the 87 tune for the rest of this tank. At next fill up, I'll use 91 fuel and run that tank empty as well. On the following 91, I'll flash to the 91 tune. Should only take a few weeks, probably less.
I reflashed to 91 today. Can't wait to drive home.
will do LOLHit the ECT button too

Son of a bitch.will do LOL
I have an intake and exhaust too and i cannot stand the constant shifting of the transmission... it is always in such a rush to get into a higher gear when it isnt necessary..OK, I broke down and ordered the tune. After doing an intake and exhaust the truck is even more annoying to drive for some reason. I think now it's because I can "hear" it being dumb

Orange Virus Tuning, or OVTune is a software upload for our Tacomas that adjusts the engine mapping and shift mapping in the transmission. It's definitely an improvement. Like others, I hated the shift dance in my truck and it's now highly improved. It's not gone, but it is better. I think they weight of my truck has a lot to do with it still dancing.

The OVTuned thread on TacomaWorld is a disaster. 1,600 pages of non stop off topic banter, but yes, I've read it all. I can answer most any question you may have. That said you can also search for all of OVTuned's posts there and just read through those but even then they somewhat lack context and can be hard to understand without it.

Maybe invite Mat over here so he can have a more chill place to talk about the awesome work he is doing?? Like a weekend getaway thread.
We're already working on that. ??

I checked it out, is this something i can do myself with my own computer or do i need to bring it to a shop..seems like you just plug it in and download a map if im not mistaken..
Is there different maps you can select or is it just one?
It's true! The OVTune'd ECT button is the cure for having 35s without a regear. It really is impressive. ~80mph on the highway is basically the same (or still better) than stock tune/stock tires. I highly recommend this now that I have thousands of miles on it.Hit the ECT button too
Trying contacting them for help.Am I the only person who wasn’t impressed with OVT? My truck still hunts for gears like crazy and I am only running 255/80/17’s with very minimal armor and no tent on the rack.

I feel like I’m normally the one in your shoes. Unimpressed with overrated bullshit. But OVT actually is as good as the world makes it sound. So there might be something up with yours.
