heads are the least of your worries...concentrate on the block... rods, pistons, crank... i threw a rod thru the block... a one inch hole and crack in a cast iron block... the junkyard guy said in the 20 years he's been dealing with toyota motors, he's never ever seen that happen before... 2nd thing you need to worry about is your transmission, it'll start slipping soon... thirdly is your rear end.. if it hasn't already given out it soon will... i'm not trying to discourage you or anything... hell i had lots of fun smoking vettes, stangs, and maros in my runner, but if i had a chance to do over again..i'd probably wouldn't...i'd just go out and get a ford lightning.

Mozzie,
My transmission is already starting to go. I will buy a VB for it SOON! Hopefully that will help.

The engine work you have seen above is now done through www.URDUSA.com exclusively. You can email Brian at the email addresses on the URD site for more information on getting an engine built specifically to your needs and not some one size fits all deal.

turbo's are laggy if the plumbing isnt done right.. but a good job will give good response... none the less.. if you took the same exact truck, and did s/c compared to turbo.. same 7lbs.. i have money on the turbo... much easier to control when handling power

I assume you were talking to me?

Show me your tacoma that out-runs corvette's and run's 12's. It's just so pointless I can't believe anyone would actually do it. Keep a website updated. If someone were to do it, i'd be interested in watching.

Also, given the same amount of boost run, turbo vs. supercharger, the turbo will (all things being equal) put out more power, due to the parasitic resulting from the supercharger.
