    I wanted to know what the best tool I can use to tune my all stock v6 4wd 2006 double cab automatic taco

    I cant afford a 4k supercharge at the moment and My truck has had the gas pedal recall.

    What is a good tuner and chip I can use to pull a couple more horses out of the hood, Thanks guys!

    if you cant afford a supercharger, then you cant afford anything else that will actually make power. save for a supercharger.

    Edit:

    NVM, I wanna go with the troll above and second it!

    i don't know of anything other than the supercharger or a turbo. Both are going to cost you.

    Call URD. Talk with Gadget and get his thoughts. MAF Cal and some intake/exhaust upgrades might do the trick, but nothing is as good dollar for dollar as a Forced Induction set up if you want more power.

    All the modules do is load the alternator so the engine idles up and richens the engine. That's the performance gain it adds more fuel. It shouldn't hurt mpg it would be like running the a/c but without the a/c strain.

    If horsepower is that important to you either save up for a blower or like Brunes said spend some money at URD. However for the money you will spend there to get your desired HP, you might as well save up or use it for something else.
