    The set-ups I have seen range from $600-1000. IDK if it is worth it if I am running stock pulley and no 7th injector... (may change someday)

    No pinging yet. I live at 7600ft so the fuel delivery is fine afaik...

    I read that people use HEET too, aka water remover. They are replacing the methanol with ethanol in windshield washer fluid so idk how effective that will be moving forward. lol

    All in the living room of his GFs house. lol

    I hated the whine by the time I sold my 4Runner. It was cool at first but on long mountain passes or any slight acceleration on the freeway it would drive me crazy. I usually have the music low because of my daughter so I could always hear it when I gave the truck a little boost. It's actually one the hesitations I have with trying to install a SC on my tundra. I'm weird though and love a quiet ride (exhaust or tire hum bother me as well).

    I understand where you are coming from. that is why I am not removing any of my intake silencers.

    If you haven't already ordered them you are a complete... well, you have permission now. run with it.

    edit: buy me a swing out too

    Makes sense. If this last weekend proved anything to me the Tundra has enough power as it is. I probably took it on the hardest trail I can full stock

    Well boys I just graduated and I'm on my Liberty break. Wasn't all that difficult. My parents rented a 5th gen to drive me around in. They said my 4Runner is good and my trailer in at the Offroad expo in AZ with @broker.

    Good call, the deckplate really helps with airflow, but does make it louder. Was worth it to me though.

    What year Tundra? My 06 with the 4.7 is awesome, but my heavy 34's really took a hit on the power. First chance I get I'm going to switch to the 14-16's and the 5.7.
