    So I've been debating, more than I should be probably.... Do I want a cold air intake? Is it really worth putting one in a 3rd gen Tacoma? I'm pretty stock rn, stock height, tires, I just ordered a Carven exhaust :) What are pros and cons of getting an intake? Also, if I do pull the trigger...

    It’s been several months since I’ve posted or even been on here, and I must say I’m not loving the new theme of the site lol. Anyhow, I’m wondering if anybody has any information on long travel suspension capabilities when it comes to torque and horsepower? I know this is a very vague question...

    I know there are some older threads on this topic but I wanted to start a new one. Who out there is running the Magnuson supercharger? I’ve got a few questions but I’d rather get information from someone who is running one rather than the “I’ve read” or “I know someone” kind of answers.

    OVTune On the topic of tunes and manual transmissions

    Hello friends, so a couple weeks back I got a tune on my 2017 TRDOR DCSB with an manual transmission, stock gearing. It's the OTT 8.0 "spicy" and I'm a bit underwhelmed. I can tell there is a difference but it is pretty subtle. I get that most people who get these tunes have the automatic and...
