Performance Chip or Headers? Worth It?

[Jeremy556]

I guess I could find an aftermarket supercharger....

Yea, good luck with that.

heh, I always hit the reset button at the top of a pass, too. It goes from 13.8 to 60.0 on the way down the hill, then quickly returns to 13.8.

P.S. You need to air up

I have a broken tpms. Don't even notice the light anymore. Lol

After breaking TPMS sensors 3 different times, I just asked to removed them completely. I need to break open my dash and cover the light with some electrical tape.

Lol at chips. Better off with more stickers = more hp

Is a regear worth it if you're not going over 33" tires? Or does it have to do with the weight of armor and a roof rack?

FWIW the guys over on Mud were able to show significant gains with DT headers on a 100. I was skeptical, but at least they have some dyno numbers to back it up.

We do too. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/190157-build-thread-my-rocky.html

It would be fine if people only did the performance mods and kept the rest of the truck stock but when they hang 1,000 lbs off of it in other mods it negates any performance mods.

Wait, that extra 1000lbs are my performance mods!

IMO - if you want more power and less mpg either re-gear or save a few more pennies and trade for one of these:

you mean more mpg?

Did anyone ever answer this? I'm running 33s with a 3in toytec lift. Should I regear it? If so what do you recommend?

Eh... I'll say that when driving around normally (city and highway) a regear is in my opinion completely unnecessary.
That said, in L4L/4L with 33s, even 1st gear can seem just a hair too quick for super precise control. I find myself riding the brake a LOT to maintain control, more than i feel I should have to.
Still not really necessary in my mind, though for me it's more a matter of "do I really need to spend the money to regear? No. I get by just fine now"

Would the 4R Trail front clip and hood easily bolt in and match up? Lexus front ends are uuuugly! Plus, I don't want to give up the hood scoop! lol
