He knew exactly who I was when I drove up, he said, people have followed him home a few times to find out what he has under the hood of his runner. I had to damn near beg him to get a look under the hood though. Under the hood is a 3.0(3VZE) alright, not just any 3.0 though, it's a thing of beauty, this thing is an engineering freaken marvel. I asked him where he got it, he said he picked it up from a friend who works for Toyota Production Development in Japan it was a concept project engine, that did'nt make it to market because Nissan had a similar concept. He said he bought it from his friend and had it shipped over here. And yes this 3.0 has 24 valve heads, it also has dual turbos with 18lbs. of boost each, the fender well are cut to fit everything in, it has digitally controlled nitrous with a freon shot cooler...?(never heard of one of those), one of the wildest dual cold air intakes I've ever seen. The exhaust is Downey Off Road headers, dual 2.5" mandrel bent stainless with a Flowmaster mufflers. Inside the truck, the glove box opens and a laptop computer folds out and over towards the driver, he says it controls a mappable ECU, diagnostics and nitrous and here's the real kicker, it puts out 490 rwhp. After looking at this Freaken Monster of a 3.0, it's no wonder he left me in the dust. Also, he said he knows all about Yotatech he's been on here more than a few times, trying to help others with tips and tricks, he would'nt give me his handle though, he said you can probably guess who he is right off, he said, he's the guy that's always getting bashed and flamed about his intake ideas. Well, for me, after seeing this guys runner, seeing is believing and this one is definitely unfreakenbelieveable.

sounds like a nice ride! I plan on turboing my 98 SR5 V-6 come next spring. I have to research into the tuning, fuel, and motor though to see what i am facing. I am hoping for a modest 300hp at the motor, nothing like the 600 in the stang
