What are some good basic mods to get more power?

Hi everyone,
I am already looking at aftermarket exhaust kits, cold air intakes and an OV tune I believe it's called?
Don't do much off road driving but do a lot of driving and just looking for thoughts or ideas to give better overall performance considering 2 trim levels either the off road or Pro trim levels.
Thank you

 

Buy a Tundra.

 

Already have one and for me just too big and for.what I do sadly.a gas hog.
When I respond to fire calls and it idles for 4-6+ hours depending on the call it sucks gas.
I had a 2010 tacoma and loved it and regret trading it for a bigger truck.

 

the truck already has a cold air intakes stock !
save your money you only get more sound.

AND push the skinny peddle harder.

 

Ovt is working on a twin turbo kit. I know it’s not a basic mod but figured I’d mention it. The first batch is spoken for but the thread is worth a browse if you’ve got the time. Looks like it’ll put out plenty of power.

 

Although I’m not sure how well it would handle idling for long periods of time.

 

with the v6 you have two options. for ATs you can go with forced induction. the best looking thing that's actually happening is OVT TTs although URD just teased their supercharger. for MT trucks OVT and some exhaust work is enough although you can go FI with that as well.

 

Throw in a K&N air filter...you don't need a "cooler air intake"...

 

Weight reduction... For yourself

 

OV tune. I might get a exhaust system this fall. You have a factory cold air. OV tune and you should be very happy.

 

OVtune and a re-gear is your best bet.

 

You need a Sport hood scoop, Pro grill, drop in LED bulbs and a Hello Kitty bumper sticker. That should get you at least 50hp

 

Bingo. These are the only things that will actually make a difference. The others mentioned are a waste.

if you do both those and still want more, then you need to go forced induction

 

Put a pair of balls hanging from the tow hitch.

Just kidding, don't be that guy.

The ECT button is probably the best bet unless you want to do the OVtune and regear.

 

Like the other 2 smart guys said, only OV and gears will do anything for actual performance.
If you want to sound like you're going faster than do the intake and exhaust

 

Dealership comes to mind.


2nd gen with supercharger maybe?

 

Very funny

 

I still regret to this day getting rid of 2010 trd sport acess cab as i would of loved to put the supercharger on it.

 

Is a pedal commander an option to consider?

 

I "4th" this as well. This is really the only way to get performance out of the Taco. CAI and exhaust will have very little, if any, benefit there. It will probably sound nice though.
