if you could seriously get a tundra with this blower kit and it is making that claimed HP, i would seriously consider one as my next car.

It'll be a little while for the Land Cruiser/LX kit is out. The fuel pump is changed on the Tundra. The replacement pump used (as informed by TRD) is the Land Cruiser pump. The price should be a little less for the Land Cruiser/LX.

But it drives nicely

I know this is off topic but why do Tundras look so badazz and Sequoia just look so bloated

it varies, some dealers will give you a price including install and some will just want an extra 1000 or more to install it, 1 reason why I passed on the SC for my V8 4Runner was they wanted an additional 8 hours at 120buck labor for the install my SC went from 4000 to 7000 so I passed.

I just hope this SC is a bolt on application and you can drive the truck like normal, the the 3.4L V6 4Runners and Tacomas seem like a nightmare to tune properly and they ping on anything but 93 if your lucky.
