    What makes you think it's slow any way? Sold your old Vett?

    I think my 6 speed is as good if not better than the auto. It has a lot to do with the driver. I can accelerate and shift just fine with my taco.

    a better breathing intake and exhaust will hurt you off the line but will be better at normal driving speed

    The manuals are notchy and they definitely don't shift quickly. There is only so much one can do about that. The acceleration is definitely better with the auto. I've had the 6 speed, which is a fun truck, but for everyday use just isn't as nice.

    you open it up and let it breathe more you gain top end but lose low end.

    has to do with back pressure.

    Not enough back pressure at low RPM (ie off the line). Back pressure is restored at the higher RPM because there is more exhaust trying to be pushed out.

    Torspd is an aberration. He has a magic touch.
    Your results will vary.

    Engine swap and re-gear. Get a 4.7L V8 out of a 4Runner and get some new gears. You'll need to race in 4-wheel high for traction. Lightweight racing seats can help. =)

    From my 2 weeks on this site, I can see that you're one of those guys that will argue untill the other person gets annoyed and walks away.


    There have been many independent dyno's with proper gains.

    Bw s256 turbo with 3 in glass pack dumped pre axle raptor liner bed and top rails and fenderflares and rocker panels. Hunter side steps. Plasti-dipped upper fenders and emblems. satin black spray paint here and there inside and out. 5100's set to 1.75" up front . C channel front bumper. Maxxis bighorn 255/85/16
    Not sure the 4.7 would be that noticeable. pickin up 50 hp and how many pounds? If be willing to bet that weight to power ratio would still be really close. Ud get more hp and less weigh (except for in ur wallet cuz it would have more in it) with a sc. turbo that thing I u really wanna push the limits and u got deep pockets tho. check out torspd and toon.

    1gr 236hp 266lbft
    2uz vvti 260hp 306lbft

    You would gain 24hp and 40lbft.

    Or you could do headers, intake, y-pipe, exhaust and tune, and have more power than a 2uz. Up to you.

    Or until I realize that I am talking to someone that has simply bought into marketing hype and I walk away.

    Bye.
