    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to find out if there are any worthwhile conservative ways to pull a little more power from the stock 2020, 5.7 V8 in our Tundra.
    Don't want to get crazy, can't afford a super charger, nor do I think that is smart for my right foot... just want a little more attitude.

    Welcome to the forum.

    Pedal Commander should get you what you're looking for. Sport +2 mode makes the engine actually feel like a 5.7...

    There isn’t much you can do to get more real power from these engines unless you supercharge it. Exhaust, programer etc. after it is said and done wont make much difference. At almost 8k installed, the supercharger is way out of price range for most. I have a sprint booster same as pedal commander and it made driving a little more fun. All it fid was give back the initial acceleration.

    Full exhaust with headers actually gives decent gains. Pair that with a pedal commander and itll be fun again.

    Another option: put it in beast mode after you start it. Having the nannies off stops the truck from damping your RPMs when you really get on it. Tow/haul changes the throttle mapping at the push of a button and makes the skinny pedal very sensitive.

    1. hold TRAC OFF button for 3 seconds
    2. hold TRAC OFF button for 3 seconds AGAIN.
    (All nannies should be off; if you did it correctly, you will have 3 indicators on the dash that 3 nannies are off)
    3. Push Tow/haul button

    Beast mode requires no mods and is free.

    Hello, and thanks for the recommendation.
    After all this time, I sprung for a Pedal Commander about two weeks ago.
    I am pretty happy with it overall. The various setting can be rather subtle, and Yes, the Sport (+2) mode seems to be the best solution for daily driving.
    I've tried the Sport Plus mode a couple of times... Pedal modulation becomes a bit chalenging.
    Thanks Again!
