Gearing is about all you can do. Gear it down and you will be happy or put on smaller tires.

Oversized TB, dont waste your money on a spacer.

an oversized TB, headers, intake, and nitrous are your only "bolt on" options for a
3vze. if you feel like spending a lot of $$$ get your heads ported and throw some cams in it.

Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but he didn't ask for how they worked or how to improve HP. He just asked where he could buy one.

It's a 3VZE so there's no real "better" place to spend money for performance. Good air-filter, proper tune-ups, oil changes... maybe search around here for "intake silencer" removal or mod. For the most part, headers won't disappoint, but ... be prepared to spend at $1000 to gain 25-50 reliable HP over stock.

3.0 headers suck.They do OK at 3500 RPM and up but I rarely spin mine that fast.The headers kill low RPM torque.Anyway call Summit racing or Jegs.

the only mod thats going to do you good is gears, the auto trans just sucks all the power out of these trucks. if you want to go into the motor talk to 302yota. he had a custom set of cams ground for his truck, along with an exhaust, bigger injectors port and polished heads and tuned AFM.

i hate to say it but... agreed. but i don't mind cause the valve overlap in my cams makes up for it and i run mine all the way to 5k. it makes getting on the freeway or going up a grade no problem, but climbing something from a dead stop... it kinda sucks.
