    How's it going guys I just bought my 2015 Tacoma a few months ago and am planning to add a little power. I still want it to be reliable but I want it to be at least up in the 200s WHP.

    Only way to get to 200 whp is a super charger kit. Or a trade for a v6 truck.

    Nitros! Got to realize you have 159 hp at the flywheel. You need a 26% increase in power to just get to 200hp at the engine... no way there with out boost.

    Cheapest seat of the pant increase in performance would be a gear swap

    Only good thing about the 4 banger is the MPG's and everything you do to make more power reduces those MPG's. So why not just get a V6?

    Dog friendly, with dog snot on inside windows, with of course a/c! Mag 16 inch wheels from a Mazda.
    Ice headers, and eliminate the charcoal vapor screen. Maybe you'll gain about 7hp.
