If Tex went the KB route, I'm thinking that a chip or X-Cal2 (maybe pulley, too) would be required in addition, as well - likely going over the $3K budget?

Hmmm KB or Brembo's tough call.........

Tex,
what direction are you leaning towards? more go, more slow, more visual impact? maybe a new stereo.. give us a clue as to what direction and then the answers might be more helpful.

I have done all of the above.. from chrome stock wheels, to EBC brake upgrade, to ported Eaton and intake mods, to upgraded stereo, dynamat, etc.

post up your current mods and let us know..

I'm leaning toward more go, in the form of better braking, better handling, and better traction. Braking, I think I'm gonna go with TCE's BBK; handling, I'm getting the Hellwig rear sway bar and a set of QA1s; traction, I'm thinking of getting the Detroit TrueTrac Torsen diff.

I'm sure someone's gonna squawk about me posting this in the first place, but I was curious to see what everyone would do.

The way I see it, what good is power if you can't get it down to the ground?? Also, what good is fast if you can't stop? ;) I'm real happy with the tune, the damn thing is pulling very strongly, so I think I'll do these first before I tackle power.

EDIT: Forgot the mod list:
*Your tune
*FRPP lowering kit
*Hellwig front sway
*Magnaflow catback

Not much, but hell, it's alot of truck. :tu:

Pay it off.

After reading all of these posts, my recommendation would be to give it to Tom or pay for the Motorplex rental for the next big race event! I'm leaning more toward the "give it to Tom" option, tho. :d

I like Toms idea. Do it Tex. You will be forever remembered as the stuff...:banana: .

[Tex Arcana]

Well, since it was paid for the day I got it, paying it off ain't necessary.

Giving it to Tom, as much as I like him, ain't an option either: my money gets spent on me. :tongue:

[QDRHRSE]

Whoa fella's. I don't think we have identified which "Tom" we are talking about. I would be happy to take it.

Don't you have a bicycle to ride to work??:d

[00Bolt]

might as well, i only drive 4.2 miles from driveway to parking spot. Could use the exercise also... lol I actually bought an 01 Toyota Tacoma... its not bad, its v6, 4x4, ex cab... runs like a champ and best of all its paid for with no payments. Dont get me wrong, i still really miss the L, but think i was crazy to dump the kind of money I did into it. And others have spent way more than me.... thatll be me again sometime soon.. but in meantime Im trying get ahold of my finances, future, etc while im still young... i look at my grandmother and grandparents in law, watching them work like dogs at 65+ and dont want that to be me

but if you insist on spending for truck, I say get suspension with qa1s, etc. since u do alot of course racing..

(snip) i was crazy (snip).

Why, yes... yes, you are. :d
