Car Bio: EunBi needs a new computer and some dyno tuning done to her now.

After the dyno tune I'll probably put up some numbers, probably get back to the track next summer.

Now i gotta install that boost gauge.. somewhere...

I should have looked at your details more carefully: it did say TRD supercharger. I was thinking "aftermarket", one that gives you a LOT more bang than 40 hp; there are a few applications, with the correct drivetrain beef-up, that can give you over 400hp! Now THAT would void the warranty. I thought about getting the supercharger but they wanted $4K at the time of purchase. I could not see spending $100 per hp! ($4000=40hp)If I were to put a header and downpipe on mine, with the mods I have, I would get 200hp, but I am fine with about 185, especially the way gas is today (7 gals cost me $30!). Well you have a great car, happy motoring! And thanks for the reply!

A supercharger! Be careful, it may void your warranty. If it does not, PM me with details, that might be the way to go for me as well. I will have to check out w/dealer if a supercharger would void my warranty 1st. I am pretty sure I would have to beef up my drivetrain as well, like you did. Thanks!
