I am very happy with all my engine modification. The 2nd Generation Super Charger really made a difference. The extra power really kick A**. The TRD exhaust also made a bit of difference. I love the mellow throaty sound of the exhaust. Look below for all the other modification I've done. Future Modifications will include transmission and fuel upgrade. Not sure yet when, I think my driving style does not justify the modification at this time.
3.4 2nd generation Super Charger installed December of 2000 with only 3000 miles on it. I added the TRD high performance Thermostat (160 degrees) and 1 step colder NGK Spark Plug (BKR6EKPB-11). These plugs were a bit expensive costing about $12.00 each. Not sure as of yet if they are worth the money. Also, these plugs comes with dual electrode. I added the Thermostat and NGK plugs with 24,500 miles on my rig..
2000 Ca. Emission TRD Cat Back Exhaust System. I love the sound though most people do not like the deep drone "throaty" sound.
Modified Air Box (Deckplate Mod) with drop in TS-115 Amsoil filter. I also purchase the TRD filter but have not used it yet.
I recently added a TMC1.1 to get rid of the spark knock ping. My retard is set to about 5 degrees. Setting the retard degree is a must. I had to play (trial and error) to get the maximum benefit. Overall, I am very satisfied because the pinging is almost gone. I can still hear the ping on high RPM but it comes and goes. If you adjust the retard higher you will encounter the check engine light. I guess this is the only drawback of this contraption.
Modified Air Intake Elbow. I did this way back then when I first got my Supercharger (December of 2000). I did feel a bit more power because it got rid of some of intake air restriction of the silencer box.
