3VZE power!

So I finally found a way for my 92 4Runner to get more power out of the good O'l 3VZE.
First picture is before with no power. Second and thrid pictures are with the up grades.
LOL!!
So no more crying about how slow your 3VZE is! If you want your truck or 4Runner to run better do what I did.
Ok guys. The real reason I put the stock rims back on with these tiny tires is so that I can polish up my other rims and paint them up. I will admit this. My 4Runner is running great with these tires on! Dont even have to use the ECT button no more. It feels like it has a little more power and I might even get better gas milage!
But man does the 4Runner look dorky!
Already started my rims this weekend. Im guessing it might be just a week to do all 4 of them and a 12 pack of Naties. Who knows? I might ride these tires till I hit up some trails or go 4 wheeling. What do you guys think?
Talk to ya'll later!

I think a 30 pack, and a buddy, or two and make a weekend out of it. It's no fun drinking by yourself. lol

doesnt look too bad. If it were me though, i would suffer worse gas mileage with the bigger tires. I mean...you have the ECT button for a reason right???

i'm confused, how do tire's give your engine more power? slap some headers on there or something then you might have a little more power.

Its basically the same thing as gearing it lower, plus the smaller wheels weigh less.

I've always said the best mod for the 3.0 is gearing lower.

My V6 4Runner had factory 4:57's and 28's... YIKES!

It had plenty of POWA!!! But didn't pass up to many gas stations

70mph was north of 3,500rpm...

Love the way that thing drove... And drifted...

I agree....my 3.0, 4.88 gearing works pretty good together, but I really wish I had a manual though
