Also have you heard of Superchips for ford from the flip of a switch you can go from stock setting to a race setting.You can also upgrade it evert time you do any engine mods. I heard about this when I THOUGHT I was getting a Lightning(parents like to twist there words around).You should contact them to see if they are interested in making them for Toyota motors.
Supposedly the newer Toyota ECUs are reflash-able, just like GM/Chry/Ford ECUs. I'm pretty sure 2001-on, maybe 2000. The problem is the code & flash-method is proprietary and would have to be reverse engineered. But at least there's hope! There are already PC/windows based re-flash programs available for the Flash-programmable GM ECUs (using a "home-made" interface cable). Pretty slick, too bad GMs engine controls suck...

Something along those lines should emerge for the Tundras. If I could find an Electrical Engineer and Microcontroller Coding Expert and lock them in a room with a Toyota flash-ECU and flash programmer for 2 weeks... Any volunteers?
