I'm gonna say probably not. They're saying 40 extra horses and 50 extra ft/lbs of torque... that's outrageous, the bully dog system for my Tundra only offers 25 extra horses

Sounds about right. Why don't more people use these? If you install 157 of them to a stock engine, you'll have the equivalent horsepower of a top fuel dragster...and still be streetable!

I am pretty sure they plug into Alpha display board right next to the plug that the flux capacitor needs to be in to make these modules perform as advertised .

Thing is the flux capacitors are on back order as they need to be invented first.

There are lots of things you can do to improve the performance of your Toyota. Free flowing exhaust. headers, better ignition systems, etc, but unless you go with a stand alone engine management system that can be tuned there's not much you can do when it comes to the OEM ECU. From what I've read even the piggyback systems have varing results, so as most of the guys have already stated any claims to be able to reprogram a Toyota ECU is basically a rip off...Until now!
On Powerblock TV (Spike Network) last weekend either the Horsepower or the Trucks show (don't remember which one) they did a feature on the Bullydog performance facility in Idaho. Everyone knows they are big into Diesel performance, but they also make tuners for the gasoline market as well. In this feature they stated that they were finally able to break the Toyota code (something no one else has done so far) and that they were now producing tuners that will allow you to rewrite the tuning maps in the Toyota ECU.
Their website says that these tuners work on Tundras, Tacomas and Sequoia starting at 2010. Will they go back in years? Who knows, but it would sure be nice if they did.

Hadmatt54, the bullydog system works on '07 and up Tundra's idk about the rest... but its way to expensive for the return at the moment.
