Sweet ass man&#33; F-in&#39; Toyotas... I bet that he doesn&#39;t know that you did your mods and thinks that you just had a few bad first-time runs against him&#33; He&#39;ll now know not to mess with GM trucks. :flipoff: That is cool as Hell that you pulled on that guy&#33; Awesome kills&#33; Now I wanna find a new Tundra...

Cool&#33; But heres what Im thinking... why do we have to spend &#036;&#036; on mods just to keep up with them...are they making more pwr stk than we are... or are the lighter...maybe they come from the factory with a more agressive tune? are we comparing apples to apples

Well, Toyota has a motor that was developed just now, 5.7L in displacement, excellent computer management--including a ULEV designation, 381 hp/401 tq, 6 speed tranny, available 4.30&#39;s, etc. Compare that to ours...motor developed almost 10 years ago, (originally with the 5.3L--285 hp, 325 tq), ok computer management, no ULEV or LEV, Jurassic period 4L60e, 3.73&#39;s, etc. We HAVE to do this stuff to stay in the same performance parameters...



If GM strapped their new LS2 5.7 (from the Vette--400 hp&#33;&#33 and the new 6L80e Hydramatic (????) tranny into the NBS 1500 truck with 4.10&#39;s, we&#39;d be right up there with Toyota---or even be beating them...

I say good for Toyota. Raise the bar. Same as for the Titan&#39;s.

Don&#39;t they also have 3 valves per cylinder?

No. It has 4... It&#39;s a DOHC, 48 valves. It&#39;s the Ford 5.4L Triton has a SOHC, 3 valves per cylinder...

[COWL327]

You can tell he&#39;s an engineer, he&#39;s managed to figure out how to put 6 valves per cylinder in the DOHC engine while everyone only gets 4 per cylinder.
