    Hi there just wanted your opinion on what I should do next. Currently I have a 17 Tacoma Trd pro. I’m pretty happy with it and so far I’ve done the overlander tune and I’m pretty happy with it. I was thinking of adding abit more power and I was thinking of re gearing options are 4.88 and 5.29 from nitro. I was leaning on doing the 5.18 gear set from nitro and I wanted to boost the rig . I like the way the magnuson installs and everything looks stock. I really like the pro charger because of the front mount intercooler but I’m hating that you have to relocate the battery and cut the engine cover and probably some of the front clip to install the intercooler. So if you guys had the choice of doing either or what should I do? I daily drive my truck , I don’t do allot of hiway/freeway driving , tow a small trailer occasionally, and I’m not worried about mpg’s . I’ll be on 32” tires so let’s hear those opinions as I’m all ears.

    KDMAX Tune. That is a lot cheaper than 90 horsepower for $7000. Leave it alone and enjoy it. No sence in dicking up a perfectly good truck. Maybe some better bumpers, winch, lights and undercarriage protection. Its perfect lke it sits!!!!

    Supercharger is SOOOOOO expensive... I thought about it when I got mine. The thought has totally evaporated and will never return. Just too expensive for what it offers.

    Gears and a tune. Since you have the tune and stock height with less than 33s, 4.88 would be my choice. Then a new tune for your new gears. The risk with the supercharger is also not worth it IMO.
