my truck feels a little slow.

I recently moved to North Dakota and I hail from the great state of SO-CAL. and I went from 70 to -18 and I was wondering if that had anything to do with my truck felling slow. Im going to do a tune up next week plugs and transmission change and radiator, just a normal tune up. I was looking for away to increase throttle response and acceleration. I was thinking of changing the pulleys and to any after market brand. I just need some input , thanks for reading!!

Air density maybe too?? Sea level air versus air up at elevation - High you go the less dense it is.

 

dam!!! I though cold air was better!! I have been getting shit mpgs to I been driving city almost he whole time I live like 4-5 away from work and in-between that just getting some essentials, I have been getting like 200miles per tank.......

 

also at what elevation would you say it take an effect on the truck ?

 

Cold air is better, but without knowing the elevation I can't tell you if it's better or worse than what you had before.

 

I think im around 1600 feet ?

 

1555

 

Save your money and S/C it. Problem solved

 

wow that sucks.... and here I am thinking that I just needed a tune up to fix this problem. thanks for the info it really helped. so what do you think I can do as far as performance gains as far as mpgs or hp

 

I was going to get the TRD one but it dident feel like it was worth it for the 302 hp. I might just put a turbo;D

 

A TRD super charger will def. help HP, and will actually increase your MPG's since its a closed system, and if you stay out of the boost. That is the only real way to significantly increase HP.

Any other way would just be a waste of money, such as a CAI. You can put in an AFE pro dry drop in filter since the stock air intake is already a cold air intake since it draws air from the fender well. Another free method is to lighten your truck. Take out all the shit you have in the bed, and behind the seats.

 

I looked in to getting a supper charger but I couldent pull the trigger on it . there was the URD and the TRD and I was reading about running a 7th injector and it was getting confusing so I just kinda forgot about it.

 

There are lots of folks around here that can help ya. Take a look for the supercharging threads...then if you still have questions-Post em up!!

 

true I just join not that long ago and before the TW I was calling dyno shops and Toyota dealer ship and I actually found a TRD S/C for 900! it was just the supper charger with out any belts or pulleys or gauges -_-

Comparison between TRD, URD, and Turbo.

 

kick Ass!!! I think I like the tuber sound vs the supercharger sound do they get as much as a S/C?

 

"Do they get as much as the S/C"?

I don't understand the question.

 

does the turbo get as expansive as a S/C
