99 4x tacoma 2.7 auto great ride but this thing is gutless. any suggestions. thanks n advance.

 

As with any motor, power doesn't come cheap.

Intakes, a header, and exhaust will help a bit. But for real measurable power gains you are talking cams, tuning, power adders, and bottom end work.

if you just want a few extra ponies to brag about, spend the money on a good intake (AFE seems to be the best, K&N sucks) a GOOD quality header, and a good exhaust. Btw, stay away from any "chips" or any of that cheap crap you can find on ebay. Whoever came up with all that garbage is a genious, because they are legally robbing people blind. Those chips and tornado things and electric superchargers are nothing more than excess weight.

 

And if you are looking for a factory upgrade to the exhaust, might I direct your attention here: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f37/...ilable-179930/

 

Ye, check your exhaust manifold. I didn't discover mine until I ran Seafoam through the motor and saw the smoke coming from it. It felt like I gained 40hp when I replaced it with DC's kit.

 

Buy a 370Z if you want performance.

Do a tuneup if you want to keep the taco and maybe gain back some performance.

What size tires ? Gears ? An auto is your first problem of why its so gutless.

 

to free up some power ele. fan, advance timing, check plugs/cap/rotor.
also same as scuba what is the setup.
or you could swap me for my 20r. haha

 

A 99 Taco wouldnt have a cap/rotor, But nice try buddy

 

Wow, someone is smoking some bad crack !!
LOL......
