K&N intake and the chip are worthless. Return them and put the money toward the supercharger.
What do you mean by upgrade the engine? All you really need to do is compression test it. If compression is still good, go ahead and boost it.

Sounds like what you need are some "Type-R" stickers to really boost the performance on the top end. Make sure you put one on everything that needs to be better.
Examples:
Put it on the exterior = Bam sexiest 4Runner EVER
Put it over the Toyota Symbol on the engine = Bam 500 bhp!
Put it on the exhaust = Bam the sticker's on fire = You have a hot ride!
I hope this helps, and if it doesn't you need pin stripes... :jump:

Just get some trd stickers, each one adds 25+ hp

It is not a worthless intake, it has been dyno proven. Its just overpriced and has way too much oil on the filter.

I agree with too much oil, I took preventative measures and cleaned mine before installing and has been fine.

What? I thought I'd read in a previous post it was +50hp. Not so? OP didn't mention how many; maybe I just misread it.

Honestly, I wouldn't put a supercharger on your engine with that many miles. If you do decide you still want to do it, I would do a full rebuild of your engine first.
