Default Installed Supercharger

I installed a Toyota TRD supercharger on my '03 Tundra V8 over the weekend.
My truck is an '03 with 45,000 miles on it. It's been babied (I'm retired).
So I figure it's in good shape. I found the S/C on ebay for an '03. We settled on a price and it was shipped to my home. It had originally been purchased for a guy's dad but his father had a stroke. The unit sat in a closet for 5 years.
My son helped me. The instructions are clear and detailed. A trick is remembering what wire .. hose goes where. It took about 14 hours (with breaks for big macs liquid refreshment and sleep).
The results are awesome! The truck has a deeper tone to the intake and exhaust. And the power ... it'll push you right back in your seat. I'm taking it easy for a while. The computer has re-learn my new driving style. I've switched to premium gas. We got a chuckle ... high octane gas is at a record-breaking $4.87 in this area. Well I wouldn't have done it if I couldn't afford the gas! When it gets a few more miles on it I'll see what she'll do.
A Happy Tundra Owner
