The deckplate is one of those 'try it and see if you like it' sort of thing. I saw a dyno chart once where someone had turned on ECT Power and done the deckplate mod and gained roughly 10 HP on an otherwise stock engine. I realize that's not much but it adds up if put on a cat-back exhaust, high flow air filter, etc. Maybe all one is after is turning their 183HP 4Runner into a 200HP 4Runner and that's enough.

On this mod, I saw the same dyno... not sure how valid it is, HOWEVER, I did the mod anyway after I S/Ced mine... figuring it was sucking in more air due to the FI.. so it couldn't hurt it. Does sound a bit throatier, could be faster, not sure?
Just have to make sure to seal it up before any rainstorms, lol.
