We hope to fully release this product at the end of July – at this time we are only taking pre-orders on Stock applications.

Yeah, Jack Jones sent me the same reply initially. Then I spoke with Michael Timmons, who was much more helpful. See below.


We are still putting all this info together. It take time to find trucks to barrow, (people want to do be hard on there truck, not us!) swap out intakes, tune each intake with and without exhaust (a days project for each intake only) swap exhaust systems, dyno runs (our dyno only measure HP & Torque at the crank). Then take it to anther Dyno shop and do it all over again, swap intakes and exhausts etc., just to get rear wheel HP. Then we need to spend a day with each Map doing 0 to 60 time runs. Currently we have around 25 different maps and not one include headers yet. We do have a customer that has headers and is running a Unichip and say it feel right and he competes in truck pull competitions.

When then take all the info calculated and build our outcome sheet. Once this is done we will be able to pass along all this info. We do this because we want to make sure are # are correct. Making a mistake now days can heart a company business in the internet world. We are hoping late next week to have all this info completed.

I understand the excitement because I’m excited too! This is going to be BIG when it’s all done.

What I can tell you is:

1.)We have heard form current customer that gas millage has improved under towing conditions.
2.)We have definitely increased the HP.
3.)We have improved 0-to 60 times, depending on what accessories your truck has will determine how much!

Thanks for your excitement and feel free to email me with any question,

He initially asked me what did we Tundra owners want to see in a tuner. I told him we wanted to see increases in wheel horsepower for stock and bolt-ons, 0-60 times, 1/4 mile times, mpg increases, etc. He said that he has staff working on this as we speak. Notice Jack's title of customer support rep versus Michael's title of Western Regional Sales Director. Micheal informed me that they have actually sold out of their first batch of tuners, so the comment Jack made about preorders is semi-correct. The next batch will be able to be tuned for bolt-ons. I'm not sure when the next batch will be ready. I'm waiting on Michael to reply to my last email.

Should I create a separate thread in order to create a list of those who would be interested in a group buy? I'll get with mods if there are enough of us to do an official one. By the way, I am in no way affiliated with Unichip. I was simply asked by Michael to gauge interest in the product and relay any questions that we may have to him.
