Morning
I post in spurts here on TW due to work & no internet connection at home.
Saw @Tacoma Mike had a birthday milestone
Sorry to read about everyone's bumps, hurts, and diagnosis's
@ImpulseRed008 did your post say 120 degrees as in the air temperature outside???
Also get your knees done! My knee replacement 6 years ago changed my life.

 

good morning all! gloomy cool rainy looking day here just me and the dog chillin

 

Morning ... cooler weather this morning then unsettled weather moves about 1400 with a possible T storm , hail and high winds

 

good morning, sitting here bored out of my mind. waiting on air filter to get here. some one was telling me yesterday the stock intake flows better idk i guess i'll see tempted to go take a nap just to get the day over with

 

Worth consideration; In MOST cases, stock air filters and stock air boxes will flow all the air a stock motor can use. Aftermarket may be capable of flowing more air in theory, but will only pass as much air as the motor draws in.

 

it is perhaps all for naught but i've had good luck out of the k&n drop in filters i've been using i figured it's worth a try but probably more beneficial if done along with the lce header idk free air in fre air out it's just a 2.7 so can't expec t much

 

My friend who races dirt track swears by using dry K&N filters and a K&N filter sock . He races Sprint cars and those motors are worth $25k or more and never had any problems

 

i'll try this if i don't like it i'll try a kn or who knows just trying to perk it up a little

 

I'm running a dry K&N cone filter and K&N filter sock on my K&N CAI , no issues whatsoever and feels like I picked up some hp according to my butt dyno

 

that is deffinately good info. considering the exspense of a full cai i thought perhaps try this first and put the rest into the purchase of the header. something to play with

 

Think of your motor being a air pump , the more air you can get into and out of you will make more hp . If you've got a supercharger and running a stock air box think of yourself breathing thru a straw , that's what your motor is doing . Same thing with exh , if you can't get the spent air out efficiently your losing hp

 

those are exactly my thoughts which it seems no one but the 2 of us believe you can free incoming air up all you want but if not the same on exhaust not much benefit. just thought i'd start here then move to exhaust which seems to ba a fairly easy upgrade

 

That's my next step is putting the Doug Thorley shorty header on and maybe re doing the exh to get the spent air out faster

 

I always enjoy fluffing up my Tacomas. I did both upgrades you guys mentioned to my last Two Tacos, and loved the better throttle response way too much, and there went my fuel mileage haha! This truck is staying stock.

 

Yesterday was a bad day. woke up at 4:00 about usual went to go to bathroom BAM pain like I have never felt. had to go to the hospital. I had a kidney stone. something the size of a grain of rice takes you down.

 

damn hope ok now i've never had 1 and bhope i never do

 

Rice? More the size of a pepper flake. Yes it hurts a shitload. Enjoy the drugs, hope it passes soon.

 

I am doing better today. Thank you it came on fast I had no idea what it was. I hope you or anyone else has one.

 

I drink gallons of rev osmosis filtered water, hoping this helps to grow no stones............

 

I need to up my water drinking.
