Little more power

I have a 2018 Tacoma TRD off-road and I'm looking for a little more power in the engine so it can find the gears easier on the hwy. I'm thinkin about adding a cold air intake. Any suggests? They would be very appreciate, Thank you

 

An aftermarket CAI will gain you more noise, and very little if any additional power. Try using the ECT button.

Edit: Another aftermarket solution would be the OVTune. There are a few threads about that here on TW

I'm still new my Tacoma and don't really know what the ECT button does. Could someone please explain to me?

 

Changes shift points to be more aggressive. It is safe to leave on 24/7.

 

Electronically controlled transmission is what it stands for if I'm not mistaken. Better shifting/more responsive

Thank you, I will be sure to turn this on then.

you just have to put it on each time you get in your truck unless the 18's stay on all the time? or get a SSP for your tranny and power.

 

Oh, well that might get annoying. what is a SSP? I deal with acronyms all day at work and its hard to know them all.

 

The ECT button would be so much cooler if it were hidden until you flipped up a panel with your finger and was a red button that lit up when you pushed it.

Shift Sense Pro, plug it in an go, just put the tranny shifter in the S mode and you are done...

I would just drive it as-is for a while. It will get better as the ECU learns your driving habits.

And definitely forget the CAI. Worthless.
