    Lift , headers , oversize tires
    I have a 2002 V6 automatic- lifted 3 ", K and N air intake, taco with 285 33 in duratrac tires, Headers. For some reason tundra brake system put on this. I bought it this way. It seems the engine is certainly working hard on acceleration especially going up grades and then levels off. It does not seem to have as much power as it should especially towing a drift boat and trailer. It certainly rides a big stiffer and rougher and louder road noise overall than my other tacoma's i have owned
    What would I gain by having the gear ratio changed as has been suggested ?
    Thanks Phil
