    I have my own numbers tested. Something is wrong in that article, 0.2 sec difference at 1/4 mile! Wtf? [​IMG]
    65 hp increase would affect more.

    TRD SC is worth of every penny, under $4000 installed (by myself).

    I have to say, I'm not a huge car guy, still fairly new to the forum... and not to offend anyone... but it seems like theres a lot of people on here who are very willing to share opinions without any data to back it up. This may come off as snarky, I promise its not.

    I know theres a few guys on this forum who have tons of money to blow. We need to get them to perform tests to settle the debates once and for all. That would be an awesome youtube channel. I promise you other Toyota lovers, if I had the time or money... that would be a hobby of mine.

    I'll bet you if the numbers were THAT impressive/substantial the companies making these products would provide a true test and prove what their products can deliver. Since they don't......

    :lalala:

    I've owned a handful of shitty Honda cars. I wasted a shit ton of money trying to make them "fast". The only thing that ever made a damn bit of difference was boost. Everything else was a huge waste of money. Boost turned my shitty cars into fast shitty cars. :burnrubber:

    Sound reasoning. I guess theres no motivation for them to since people still buy the parts.

    If I do I will make sure to do a write up about it. With that being said... any brand of gauge to get to record the data? We are on to something here...

    Like others before you may have to buy the parts and see for yourself. Then you will realize why others share their opinions without any data. Been there done that
