Has anyone actually tried advancing the timing and then running high octane (91+) gas to make up for the pinging? Or does the engine automatically account for this with the anti-knock sensor?

pay no heed to the nay sayers. 3.0s CAN be made to move...mine does
anyhoo a 3.4 swap would work well, or just tune into the several threads on here about getting the 3.0 more power.

MUDN4R gutting your cat is not a way to make power. You just opened up a large void in the middle of your exhaust & killed your flow. Get a testpipe or a highflow cat with the same I.D. as the rest of your exhaust.

I have..
Toybox fab ISR pipe (modded)
Custom 2" exhaust w\glasspack muffler and stock tailpipe
modded airbox
another thing to concider is that im currently running 225's..but i have 4.56 gears...so acceleration for me is going to be a little bit faster but, when i get my 32's soonish im sure i will feel change in accleartion but will see improved gas mileage
and remeber im at about 121k miles right now and im still running an orignal 02 sensor and PCV valve. (yea yea im getting around to it...someday)
in summer i get about 15-16 mpg with heavyish driving and durring winter i get about 12-13 mpg because of winter gas and more frequent 4wd use.

Look into ignition systems. I put a jacobs ignition in mine and it gave me more power. Also, electric fans will free up a little. Depending where you are located, you may hardly ever use the electric fan except for when sitting still for a long time.

Yep. Aslong as you don't go past where ignition timing is benifitial, you can bump the entire powerband down a couple, to a few hundred rpm.
Throttle responce also increases.
Oh my god, you guys compairing the old i4's to any of the v6's LoL!
It's not only a pretty dumb comparison, but it's annoyingly not even in the same ballpark...
From LC's site Stock 22r-e VS fully built 22r-e
Here
22R-E 1983-86 105bhp@4800rpm 137ft-lb@2800rpm
22R-E 1990+ 112bhp@4600rpm 142ft-lb@3400rpm
22R-E 1990+ 108bhp@5000rpm 138ft-lb@3400rpm
VS stock 3vz-e:
Here
3VZ-E 1990 150bhp@4800rpm 180ft-lb@3400rpm
Here's an idea, those 22r-e's are strapped on an engine dyno, and not installed in the truck, on a chassie dyno.
The 3vz-e just owned them both. It's an AFM cog adjustment & distributor adjustment away from making the LC "built" 22r-e's peak horsepower at the WHEELS.
ROTFLMAO!
Sheesh... You guys go too far with the power compairisons.

There are tons of these 3.0 mod threads starting...lots of work is going on in the backround for these engines....just wait and see really
I start on the 3vz-e development coming really soon. I got my smt6's in so i can play with one on this truck

There's more power in that brick. I think a lot of people think they suck cause many of them are in heavy (IIRC 2.5+ton) Runners with autos. I think 180 hp out if it with a much better powerband is a real good goal.
