There's been a lot of talk on tacomaterritory.com about differences between Amsoil and K'N filters...from what I found on the net (don't know where the link is now, but you can search google for "amsoil K&N comparison") is that Amsoil really has a constant airflow characteristics throughout the between-cleaning period, whereas K&N clogs up very quickly. The fact that K&N allows "more airflow than any other filter" is really crap, since even paper filter allows enough airflow. And with deckplate mod, airflow is not a problem anymore. I have Amsoil in my truck, I'm happy. Oh, also......on the ttora site (tacomaterritory), bunch of guys from TN just did a big dyno run, you might be interested in the results. K&N came out a little bigger on the hp than Amsoil. I also heard that quite a few people experienced dust past the K&N filter. I like Amsoil. It's cheaper than K&N, and seems to have good reputation.
Hi all, I am about to buy myself a prerunner V6 Xcad. I talk three sale men from different Toyota dears. Two said that the TRD made the ride on Freeway and City street feel discomfortable than the one WITHOUT TRD. Please give me your oppion.
I have a 2001 TRD with a S/C and have zero pinging or detonation problems. It is rumored that the 2001's on have larger injectors so no modifications are needed.
My runs great and have noticed zero behavior alterations with my Trans. and I have an Auto. If you have 5sp. and heavier clutch package may be in order.
Anymore questions just ask.
Oh yea, the S/C makes the stock v6 feel like a Geo Metro--- WELL WORTH IT:)
New 2001+ models have no problems with pinging, from what I hear. With old ones, you either have to live with it, or get something like "TRD kit" or something. Check on www.tacomaterritory.com forums, you'll find best info there.
I know, I'm just giving you a hard time. But if a toyota salesman ever pitched the S/C to me using the geo metro analogy I think I'd walk out the door.
