    I currently have a 2011 Tundy with Icon, Total Chaos, and Camburg suspension components. I'll be looking to start a new project next summer. I'm not very excited about the Tundy redesign. And....It turns out I can buy a Taco and put a supercharger on for less than the cost of what I paid for the big truck. Is the supercharger an actual worthwhile upgrade?!?!?! I haven't decided yet on anything, but I wanted to start snooping around on this site. :D I can't decide if I want to get a smaller truck yet or not. Here's my current rig:

    The power add from the S.C. is quite nice, mine is only factory 6LB of boost. With an after market pulley you can get more out of it.

    The supercharger is definitely worth it if you don't like stock performance! and then slap on a new pulley with supporting mods and get it boosting at 10psi, the truck will move quite nicely :D lol

    Ever thought about s/c the tundra? or is to harsh on mileage for you?

    and Welcome to TacomaWorld!

    I'm ready for a new project, and I'd like to sell my Tundy before it hits 80k miles. I figure I can either do another Tundra (don't care for the new ones) or jump into a Taco and get a supercharger for less. :D

    I'm getting right around 14mpg, and I sure don't want to have to pay for premium as well as that gas mileage...!
