    It appears they are sold out at the moment. There is no buy it now button!

    I have never tried those before but people who have tried them have ranted and raved about them giving you the same type of effects to that of acupuncture. I should give them a spin!

    Shall we get one started?! :D

    That post gave me cancer and an ear infucktion to boot. Never have I heard such a barrage of fancy words thrown into one script and jumbled into something one would call a video. I must admit that was a solid attempt at fooling the average Joseph, however.

    Now back to the topic at hand. My fender plate gasket is now leaking. Does anyone know who supplies those?

    My return springs are JDM so they are better than USDM. Their higher spring rate adds power

    The reason your fender plate gasket is leaking is because the knudson valve has gone out of synch due to the injection belt jumping 1 or more teeth, which usually happens when the catalytic bearings dry out from a lack of rain.

    Don't need dyno results. It's science, bro

    Maybe I could purchase a set of $5000 sidesteps while I'm at it too.

    Gee. I had no idea all those parts are tied in. Time to take a crash course in automotive science. :confused:

    I would like an accurate detailed explanation explained mathematically as to how the JDM springs are different from USDM springs then. Science that brotha!

    Higher spring rate = faster return = less parasitic loss = more power.... And JDM is always an improvement. Even JDM stickers add HP to the butt dyno.

    Yep that's me.

    Sometimes a non-douche can be appreciated around here.

    Just don't run the top plate spacer on the piston return springs like I did. Bent the shit out of my connecting rods.

    no no see the bend is to reduce piston slap on the power stroke

    in a sense.... its curved for her pleasure.

    I use DIAS (Direct Injection Air Springs) No mechanical spring insert is needed. These "Dias" are only available in Spanish speaking countries but they will really may your Day. :rolleyes:

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Make sure the carbon return diaphragm is set on the second notch or you could over boost the motor.

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    big end nuts on the top? this is new to me?

    also the rotary contraptulator is superior to the standard piston spring. The spin makes it stable under high speeds. It makes your air fuel ratio have a higher definition by raising the points in your system.

    This is a security feature to keep people from dropping the oil pan and stealing your crankshaft. Duh?:rolleyes:
