TUNDRA TRD SUPERCHARGER: The Real Deal!!

[Barberdan]

I ran 94mph with a pathetic 2.5s(nearly) 60 ft time at 3300FT and 90 degrees. Corrected for altitude I did a 14.3 @ 97.5MPH but I know my RCSB could cut out some of that 60ft time with a little gas and break pedal staging before the launch. I can see how sfz989 got the times out of his tundra at 350ft above sea level. My Tundra was not anywhere close to chirping a tire at our grippy track in Eastern Idaho so a supercharger is going to mostly get to the ground on stock sized sport tires.

Oops, I got the elevation wrong. My pickup did 14.43 @ 96.7 corrected for 2700ft elevation. This was with about 400 miles on the odometer and a lift/leveling kit for the front. It should run much better now lowered and broken in.

with more power and torque, you can drive it out easier than if you had to kill it to get the times...........

now you will get more wheel spin if you just kill it of course and go no where, ...........spinnin' ain't winnin'............so you will have to find the "sweet" spot for the leave for sure.

and learn how to drive it all over again.

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?

Well, I don't know where you mentioned that a bolt on supercharged tundra was excluded..? But yes with a CAI, Longtubes, Exhaust, and a programmer Its all lined up for it to happen. with the 18 inch stock steel wheels, and weighing in at 5,000 lbs it will take about 575 hp to the flywheel (pretty good estimate) to run a 12.3, and with the above mentioned mods that may be dead on or a little conservative. I'm just saying I'd be willing to bet on it. And the ford lighting weighs in at almost 4700 lbs curb weight and I've seen plenty that arent much past the 500rwhp mark doing low low 12's highs 11's. I'm also quoting the times that would be ran where I live in Central FL where im right at sea level, so take that into consideration.

It's going to be interesting to see how fast the RCSB's are going to be with a Stock TRD Supercharger. I'm thinking my DBL cab, with good air should be able to run high 12's. Should have put mine on the scales, when I was at the track to check the exact weight.

And I'm right with you on that. at sea level or darn close a DC tundra (traction permitting) should do high 12's.. I'd say 12.6-12.7 at the fastest

I think the track we race at is about 200 Ft above see level. Agree with you about getting good traction for those Et's as well. In 4x4 with stock TRD Supercharger, there should be no problem with traction, but not really sure how the 4x4 system will hold up with that much power!?!?!?

[GameOver]

Only time will tell, but Im pretty sure at stock boost the supercharger wont cause too much stress on it. Also im curious to see when someone tries to launch in 4wd and switch to 2wd after the holeshot..

[Mr. Creosote]

You must have to let off the gas for an instant to get the tcase to switch back, which would cancel a fair amount of what you might have gained anyway. For traction without the 4WD drag, I would just use drag radials and 2HI the whole run.

Will not shift back into 2 wheel drive under full throttle!!! If you back of the throttle,there goes your good Et!!!

[GameOver]

hmm, 2 bad they can't have the on the fly system such as the Dodge Cummins pickups..

It is 'on the fly', but it won't engage / disengage under full throttle.

Anyone that is going to be raceing 12s or low 13s, should be running either drag radials or slicks. Otherwise, you just doing things 1/2 azzed.

i wonder if chips will be able to fix it???

Not if it's a 4wd vehicle..
