    Hey guys! I have a 2005 Tacoma 5-lug 4cyl with a 3" lift and 30's. I want to know if there's a way to make it a little faster, I want to make it go as fast as a stock v6 or v8 for not too expensive. Is this possible?

    An ECU tune? I'm not sure what's available for your engine. A tune on a stock engine won't get you much. Maybe 1-2 HP, better throttle response and better shift points (for automatic). A decent tune might get your truck feeling like it did before the bigger tires, but it'll be far from feeling like the V6.

    Sell it. Get a V6.

    Then spend another 8-9 grand or so adding a supercharger to the V6.

    After all that it'll be about as fast as a late 1980's Saab turbo sedan. I.e. not all that fast.

    Tow it with a big, fast truck. You'll get great gas mileage.

    Buy an LS and swap it in. Cheap relative to other options.

    Is this the internet equivalent of “back in my day, we walked uphill to school, both ways, in 8 feet of snow?”

    :D
