    Completely ignorant to all of this here bro. What would you recommend for the tires/suspension, and what do you mean by control it? I need to learn the ropes quickly lol. I'm going to order this after I get a bit more feedback.

    LOL, with that much power going to the tires, you'll need something that has enough traction that you won't just spin out every time you punch the gas. As for Suspension, if you intend to actually USE your supercharger it is safe to assume you'll be traveling at high speeds. In a truck High speed + cornering = rollover. Although the Tacomas handle really well, you might consider lowering your suspension and stiffening it up a bit.

    I'm not a racer, so I don't really have any specific tire or suspension suggestions to you.

    In any case you'll need to find a shop that can install all this stuff for you. They'd probably be able to give you some more specific recomendations.

    Perhaps, the only reason not to is if you want double cab. His profile doesn't really say what cab he has though.

    Serious? o.0
    Where I'm from everyone laughs at those lol. Not sure why though. And I can get most of the stuff installed for free when my friend gets back. Anyone know which tires I should get, and what exactly I should do about the suspension?

    First off, whatis the primary function of the truck? Are you going to be wheeling or just mall crawling?

    I'd say stick with the pre-runner. I've never really like the way the X-Runners look. A little too gangsta/ ghetto to me.

    Having retardedly insane performance for a tacoma. That, my friend, is the primary function of my truck. Even if I never drive it... it works wonders for the eyes and ears.

    Exactly.

    At the point where you're putting a stage 3 kit in your truck you'd be able to take it to the drag strip and own some peoples faces. If you don't intend to do that, then there's really no point. Especially since it would make your truck require 93 Octane.
