yes that comfort is intentional slip. With tuning have full control of shift behavior for each gear, and each mode (normal, sport)

Toyota doesn’t publish a hard “max torque input” number for the AL80F, and anyone quoting a specific figure is guessing. In the real world, it’s less about a single torque number and more about heat, shift management, and how the torque is delivered. Smooth, controlled torque is what keeps them...

I’m not seeing the stock fuel system as a limitation so far—even pushing higher ethanol blends. I’ve run up to ~E55 on my own truck without any fueling issues in the logs. That said, we’ll confirm the real ceiling through continued development on the stock turbo, and then on larger turbos (we...

Totally possible! I did some testing on my truck on E30 and the gains were substantial! Stock 91 vs tuned on E30 (intake and intercooler)

I understand why this feels true, especially when you’re watching real-time MPG numbers. But a few things are getting mixed together. Modern fuel-injected vehicles are designed and calibrated around E10. Fuel trims, knock control, cold starts—all of it assumes some ethanol is present. When you...

Boost tubes won’t be a significant, driver-detectable improvement, especially once you factor in an intake and a proper tune. They mostly shift throttle signal behavior and don’t change torque management or transmission logic, so real-world gains are minimal. I’m with you on being old school —...

Day late this time around. Just spent the last several days with the Cobb crew at the King of the Hammers. I've never been to that event but it's something you have to experience to understand! Easy reading this week! Session 7: Throttle ≠ Power Not every throttle input needs full power. A...

I have not. I have a customer who’s a service manager at Toyota and he had to do a recall on his truck. He unmarried the AP, connected their software, and sent me screenshots confirming there was no record of a flash and the ecu presented as stock.

You don’t need the CAN connect cable again after initial install.

Session 6: Rotating Weight: Why Bigger Tires Feel Like Lost Power (and How Tuning Gets It Back) Let’s take a quick break from sensors, trims, and tables and talk about something you can feel immediately behind the wheel: rotating weight. Earlier this week I had a Tacoma on the dyno running...

That is the current sale price (Cobb' Authorized) through 1/29. All current COBB OTS maps (like Stage 1) are included, and if additional OTS maps are released later, you’ll have access to those through the AP. This does include transmission tuning. Where the real difference comes in is custom...

The Accessport is worth it on a daily. The biggest gains aren’t peak power — it’s smoother throttle, better torque delivery, and overall drivability. Every truck behaves a little differently, which is why custom tuning makes a noticeable difference even on mostly stock setups. Worth noting...

Gains are TBD- but should be considerable. 400+whp is going to be no issue. Factory internals- we will push Nick's truck to see what's possible, then offer a more reserved calibration for the general public. The 2JZ was a special kind of beast. That was a cast iron block with closed deck...

Last coupon used yesterday! Thanks everyone!

Session 5: Shift Schedules: RPM vs Output Shaft Speed (And Why Your Truck Feels the Way It Does) If you’ve ever thought “this truck should’ve shifted already” or “why did it short-shift there?” — this post is for you. Most people assume automatic transmissions shift purely based on engine RPM...

Something fun happening on the Tacoma side, and this kit will fit the 4Runner as well. Big Turbo Tacoma – Development Update Wanted to share an update on a project a lot of people have been asking about. We’re currently working with FAFRacing on a big top-mount turbo kit for the 2025...

Heads up — solid deal for anyone on the fence. COBB just kicked off a 10% OFF sale running now through 1/29, and CAMTuning is extending that same discount to all Toyota tuning packages that include an Accessport. If you’ve been waiting for a good time to jump in, this is it. Same tuning...

Session 4: Fuel Trims, Rich vs Lean, and Why Boost Changes Everything Fueling is one of the clearest windows into how healthy a calibration really is—if you know what you’re looking at. Modern Toyota ECUs manage fuel using two main correction layers: Short-Term Fuel Trim (STFT) Fast, real-time...

Down to the last coupon use — quick follow-up with a real-world result for the hybrid crowd. We had a Tacoma TRD Pro i-Force Max on the dyno last week. Only mod: AWE exhaust (sound only, no power adder) Fuel: 91 octane Tune: Custom calibration using the COBB Accessport The gains were clean...

Session 3: What the ECU Is Doing When You See Throttle Closure Sometimes when you’re reviewing a log, you’ll notice something that doesn’t quite match what your foot is doing. The accelerator is down… but the throttle isn’t fully open. That can raise questions — especially if you’re new to...
