Well the official TRD supercharger kit is available for the 5.7L V8 Tundra.

$2900
http://www.trdsparks.com/displaypart...&parts_id=2223

HP increased to 504hp from 381hp.
TQ increased to 550tq from 401ft.

1/4 times expected to be in the mid-high 12s, full factory warranty. Wow..Ford needs to step up to the plate. ASAP, but I doubt that will ever happen.

Nobody gives a flying ******* about 1/4 mile times, they are pickup trucks! You Tundra boys are hilarious.

Ford needs to step up to better 1/4 times? Ford has mustangs for that. Ford has trucks for people who need a TRUCK, not a race car.

You might be able to beat me off the line in a sprint, but i'll be right back on that line in 10 years with my same truck, will you?

Have fun on your overpriced sh**mobile.

Toyota could just sell ***** pumps to current Tundra owners and it would accomplish the same thing.

Yeah, but if they just "gave" them away, these guys wouldn't need any more ego-enhancement, and Toyota would stop selling trucks

Why? Because some redneck idiot like you thinks so? Too bad you don't have the slightest clue what sells trucks, and neither does Toyota apparently...see the latest trucks says? Not even close...

So why exactly does Ford "need to step it up ASAP" again?
