    I have an AEM FIC 6 to go along with my 2.7l in-line-4 3RZ-FE on my 1998 PreRunner 4x4. I was wondering if anyone knew any good tuning shops who are familiar with the FIC, and are willing to tune the truck. Here is a video of my setup:

    I have a tune on it already but it has startup issues, I believe with crank or cam timing.

    I doubt these guys have a dyno but they may be a good lead on getting the hiccup worked out with the tune, blower and FIC. If they can't do it, they may be able to point you to someone who can.

    Ohh that’s promising. They have some boosted cars on there.

    Yeah, not only that.... but what is also promising is that they are experienced with the older model Toyotas too.
    If I recall, the owner of that shop is from Hawaii, which has a huge contingent of older Toyota fanatics.

    There was a large following of classic Toyotas in the Bay Area (SSF, Daly City, etc) with restored Mangos, AE86s, etc.. but that was way in the past. Here's another lead. This shop was pretty well known locally back in the mid 90s for tuning Toyotas. I've heard that they've evolved in the last 3 decades but are still around. Maybe chat it up with them and see if they can be of any assistance.

    You must be super local huh? Good eye! :rofl:

    My lightbar was surplus from PG&E, I think it was originally for a large bucket truck. My SmartSiren controller came from the CHP I believe. Obviously disabled all the siren tones.

    The extra AUX buttons control my front spot lights, and my rear bed lights.
