I don't assume, but its been experience, that the engineers setup things upon a standard, not the best that can be achieved. So while they may have gotten the engine dialed in some, there is still room to tweak for better performance either with Power, or MPG.

A good example is the Front end alignment issue with the Sequoias, while they set things up within specs, it requires a good tweak of caster towards the Very extreme top edge of the standard to make it more stable and Less tire wear.
