Just wait and see and I won't even say i told ya so. That instant trq that the supercharger will provide is going to make a huge difference and it will also smooth out the power and trq curves making it even more efficient.
May I ask how you can "guarantee" that? Have you looked at the torque curve? Do you know how much boost is provided at what rpm? And then you're talking about stickies, longtubes, intake, and catback. Well, now we're talking about two different things aren't we? I don't think you were actually reading what I wrote. Instead, I think your Toyota pride was just hurt a little bit though it was no intention of mine. Remember I own one too and I'm just stating what I see from a sheer numbers standpoint. You on the other hand are "guarantee'in" something based on ummm, nothing.

Consider that an Ram srt 2wd which weighs in at about 5000lbs curb has about the same power figures as the TRD 5.7 and only does mid 13's. How do you propose to get a truck that weighs almost a thousand more pounds to do a better time with the same power?

See, what alot of people don't understand is that if you have a lighter vehicle, say 3000lbs, then 123 additional hp will equate to a neck breaking difference. However, when that vehicle is almost twice that weight, well... you essentially need twice the power to feel the same neck breaking difference as in the 3000lb vehicle. It's all about power to weight ratio. Why do you think a 200 whp civic can run 12's?
