I would do the 4" thing-a-ma-jiggy instead of the elbow removal, because if you get into a water situation, you won't be able to protect that spot unlike the deckplate.

I haven't looked into it in depth but I heard a Borla or some other muffler/exhaust system could free up a few horses. Definitely Dr. Z's ISR mod but if you have an auto it'll slightly delay gear change.

Actually, if you peruse through the performance write-ups of the tech section I'm sure you'll find some good ideas!

You want fast and easy though?
Go to Autozone, buy and slap on as much Type R stuff, the japanese character stickers, racing stripes, stickers that say "Greddy"...

MAN what are you smokin tacoma dude!

that stuff is outta my class, cant put those stickers on i wouldnt be able to handle the horsepower!

as of date though, i have drove my truck a little bit without the air filter lid closed, if that is anything like the "4'thingamajig," then i will do it, i actually went to get the wholesaw today but didnt want to spend 12 bucks for a pack of them cause i might have one. the isr mod seems kinda complicated for me, (actually im just to lazy to complete it) so im not going to do that yet, i was thinking about taking the cat out and gutting it, i figure that would help some. not sure thoug, then im gonna get a exhuast from the cat back,
i would change the spark plugs but man does that look difficult!
later
