    Oh there will be some mods all right
    RAM offering the 10-year 100,000 mi powertrain warranty almost had me interested for a second before I realized how terrible of an idea it would be to buy a RAM (one with the amenities I would like would cost too damn much anyway)

    So. Many. Stickers.
    It's poor metrics on their part. They have to entice people to buy their junk and parts are always 3-6 months out even for warranty stuff with known issues.

    Does this mean you're already shopping for a replacement for the 4Runner?

    I'd think the Magnuson supercharger would be a lot simpler way toget a boost, unless you're trying to get like 500 horsepower.

    So if I'm looking at this right. The 2nd gen best gen needs a Mag supercharger to get a bit more horsepower than a 3rd gen?...
    :rofl:

    Yeah, because they already have more torque from the factory.;)

    With the supercharger, it's more like V8 torque.

    How much for the LS engine?
    At 7k for the supercharger I think I'd just swap the motors.....even though it's more work.

    I think you can get the engine reasonably cheap. But, figure in motor mounts, bell housing, exhaust, wiring, etc, it's going to add up.
