    Hello fellow taco lovers what mods you all recommend for more power. Currently I have a magnuson supercharger exhaust and k&n intake system.

    It's probably time for a different vehicle if you have an SC and still want more power.

    Putting a smaller pulley on my SC gave me more “seat of the pants” power addition than the supercharger itself. I got mine from URD

    If going with a supercharger always go with the Party pulley or load the Moon tune onto the ECU

    If you want the performance of a Hellcat or a Shelby… stop spending money on the truck RIGHT NOW. You’ll never get there.

    I do agree with you but RTR Tacoma run 12 sec flat? That's right on par with the hellcat charger. So if OP went to smaller tires, it would be possible.

    Most anything is possible if you have enough time, money, and know how. The majority of us don’t even have one of those items. Let alone all 3.

    Does a fuel mod qualify?

    Perfect place to brag about my recent reobservation. Silly as it sounds, and perhaps it's all in my head but I submit to you all, 90 octane ethanol-free gasoline. It is no joke, I can really notice the difference, and I wasn't even looking or thinking about it when I did.

    You see some time back while at buc-ees to fuel up I decided to give it a try in my little race car. OK, it's a 2016 Ford Focus SE 2.0L. And yes I know it's not all that bad of a ride, but it is fun to drive and I enjoy it. Anyway back to the story. So I stick the better part of a tank in, and much like what I speaking of I forget about it.

    Sometime the next day while on a fun road I notice two things. The car is much more peppy and responsive and my fuel economy is reading an avg of 34.2 mpg from its normal 29/31. Well now it's got my attention and I'm paying attention. And sure enough in the end my Focus avgs just over 3 mpg better fuel economy and noticeable more pep and seat push back when I run the 90 ethanol free offering.

    So coincidently, I was in my Taco and at a station (QT) that offered it so I thought why not. But here's the cool part. I literally did not think another thing about it until it dawned on me that my truck was running way better than the norm. I'm not talking pay close attention and you may notice it. I saying WTH noticeable.

    I haven't run the MPG per $$$ comparison yet but I suspect it will most likely be a wash like the Focus. The bean counters don't miss much after all. So there you go

    Honestly? LS swap since you clearly have some cash to burn. Shoot, you already have a supercharger, there's nothing more that's going to make a noticeable difference. You can tack a bunch of extras on there and tweak it to perfection but they might only net you a couple more horses.

    Smaller pulley, increase boost, and Nos. Run it until piston blows thru the hood.

    I want one, but I know me, and no matter what it does to my MPG. I will run it in the BAD A$$ Mode all the time. And this leads to more broke-ness than normal.
