w00t!! Love my truck! and love the TRD blower. I'm still on the stock pulley at 5-6psi of boost. I plan on upping the boost to 10psi. Truck will be in the 12's on street tires with an autocross suspension.

If you ever got any questions MoreGrip, let me know.

will do brother! Good to see you over here! lots of knowledge

The oversize crank pulley is about the best idea I've seen so far for the TRD SC, don't like the idea of swapping out the press fit stock pulley it comes with when you have the crank pulley option, you know?

ya, but unfortunately Toyota didn't leave much room for expansion down below. In order to run a larger lower pulley, you'll need to purchase 5 pulleys, 4 needed just to make the lower fit. 3 pulleys part of the S/C kit (crank, idler, tensioner), and then you'll need the water pump (only available in the water pump & alternator pulley combo). And after all that is said and done I would only expect maybe 1.5psi boost increase. But you'll def see gains, as the 5 lighter pulleys will reduce the drivetrain loss, and the larger crank pulley will help prevent/reduce any belt slippage. So there are many gains to be had.

The secret to unlocking all the power the motor has is through the APR X-1 kit.

Are you on XRU?

That's nice. Too bad GM never put that much time and though into the S-10's and Sonoma's, sales would have definitely been higher. Some great features on that truck with plenty of scoot to keep ahead of traffic.
I like that.

Why is the X-runner not on Toyota's website? Is it kind of like an SVT type of job?
