Performance Upgrades

hey all i love my tacoma but everyday people seem to wanna bash it. i have a 2011 taco with 30 k miles 2.7 liter 4 cyl. i love this little thing. i changed out the exhaust the a magna flow and added a few lights. i also plan to change the rims and add a deeper tint to the truck. i was wondering if there were any performance upgrades that will help make the truck sound and move better. hawaii is very hilly and she slows down alot going up hills and a strong head wind. i just wanna turn her into the animal we all know she is so she can get the respect she deserves.

any ideas?

 

Supercharger might give you a 25-30% increase in power.

 

Turbo it

 

i wanna but changing out the exhaust i hadto do a ton of welding just to switch it out. so kinda nervous about putting that much cash out when it might not fit right

 

There's no shortcut to getting real horsepower for your 2.7 without spending thousands of dollars. However, I'd recommend an LCE header as a relatively low cost item ($500) that nets gains commensurate with it's cost.

It fits like a glove and is very easy to install.



Mine lowered the peak torque by 650 rpm on the dyno, along with a nice gain. I'm totally pleased with the performance gained for the dollar spent.

Header and afe drop in filter and be done
