This was actually my first time in the new Sequoia and the last time I rode in a 5.7L Tundra was almost a year ago (all my friends own Tacos).

Shift points, as far as normal driving goes, felt about the same. I didn't want to shove my face in front of our Sequoia frea.. err... expert's face.

A couple observations: It looks like the only intakes compatible with the kit are going to be the stocker and the TRD (obviously) which kind of bums me out as I hate the design of the TRD kit. In the pictures at SEMA a few years back the air/water intercooler setup was different and it looked like the stock throttle body would remain in the same place. It also looks like the cooler inline with the airlow is also the throttle body? Its an intercooled throttle body...I wonder how efficient its going to be at removing heat from the intake air vs. impeding airflow.

I'm all excited now...
Yea, the CAI basically reuses the stock airbox and changes just a few minor details (basically the surface area of the filter) so it was easily approved to be smog legal, hahaha.

I'll try and get some component pictures from TRD... but we probably won't get a chance until the kit is available in the wild.
