    Not really no. Not a judgement of your choices either. I'm getting something else out of the thread.

    I always viewed this thread as info sharing on how to safely make power for whatever your purpose and understanding the hazards of doing so.

    I don't do pulls at every stop light and I don't track my truck nor do I plan to, especially not with AT tires. For me it was never a primary driver for getting a S/C.

    No judgement for those that want the fastest baddest truck on the street, I just don't think Tundra will every be that truck with all the other trucks on the market and such a small community and limited mod support.

    The blower gives me the ability to have a peppy spirited vehicle without having to dig deep into the pedal and redlining my truck just to pass or merge. I'm also often laden near payload, the extra power makes it much less noticeable.

    Doesn't mean I don't enjoy smoking the dipsnots not letting folks pass or merge just not something I'm searching for to test. Tundra is "capable enough" for me even with its warts.

    From an objective features POV, Fords were actually my second choice even though the Rams had higher ratings. I was looking at the Limiteds and Raptors with all the problems they were having I couldn't stomach owning another Ford.

    Is getting the O2 bung welded normally an ordeal?

    I can't find a shop to do it, one I thought would just got this on Yelp:

    I hate doing this but they literally just told me to go elsewhere. I called a bit over 2 weeks ago for a simple bung weld. Jose was nice and said call when you are ready. 2 days later I called, left a message, no response. Today I called, the same unfriendly person answered and I had the same conversation.

    Me: May I speak to Jose, HER: unavailable do you want to leave a message. ME: I left a message 2 weeks ago, I'm still waiting. HER: He is busy. ME: Do you want my business? HER: you can leave a message or not, it's up to you. I left a message. As I had no response I just called, got Jose (because he was mad at me & wanted to break the case of who called) which screams she did not take my name or number.

    He told me he does not want my business which is fine, I would not go there if he were giving work away.

    I am glad you are so busy Jose, I suggest you won't be forever mistreating potential customers.

    There are no-weld bungs I've seen but I've not used one. I think AEM makes them.

    Probably not the closest to you, but try calling performance muffler 602-765-0035 over on cave creek and greenway rd. They do a lot of custom exhaust and nice work. I haven't called them yet, but i was either going to try them or let dyno comp install the whole thing.

    The shop installing my SC refused to weld it on due to normal rusting on the pipes. Next shop I asked said no problem and did it asap. But that second shop does high end custom manifolds and drift car builds, etc. Have you tried a welding shop?

    It's pretty far, I'll try them next week if I can't get it done closer.

    I had not tought of that. I'll look into them. Thanks!

    Is the “stock” hp of 580 here so high since this is actually with the ARH headers? This would seem to indicate like a 40-70hp increase due to the headers, interesting.

    Man I keep waiting for a line up with a gen3 but in 6 months of SC ownership hasn’t happened yet lol. Genuinely curious how’d they would compare in person. It seems like 50% of the gen3s around here are lifted with 35”+ tires so guessing they aren’t the fastest either.

    It blows my mind how utterly incompetent most shops are. I would expect every "shop" to have a welding setup. A welder is like a tool box. The fact that it's so hard for people to find places to do extremely basic things like the O2 bung pisses me off.

    This is a freaking muffler shop, oddly, I read the rest of their Yelp reviews, many were similar to my experience & the unpleasant woman is most likely his mom.

    There is a YouTuber that raced his Gen 3 vs a Blown Gen 2.5 and loses.

    Also the 2.30 pulley combined with the headers. I’d say even for a hub dyno those figures are less than typical. Sounds like either that truck was a total freak or that dyno is pretty generous but it doesn’t add up.

    What is normal SC whine? Mine is louder than I expected (not bad) & at full throttle sounds like it's coming from the passenger side rear of the truck (weird no)?

    It's hard to describe. Kind of a high pitched whine. If I'm in the passenger seat it's considerably more noticeable for whatever reason. I wouldn't say it's coming from the back though. I would even say it's like a quiet background soothing (albeit higher pitched) noise. When my rotors became mistimed the supercharger was extremely loud and didn't have the same soothing noise but more of a rumble. This was especially evident standing in front of it with the hood open and the engine bay just being insanely loud instead of being quiet with zero whine when idling.

    If it sounds fine with the hood up, I wouldn't worry. That's the main tell tale imo if everything is working right. If you hear a noise like sand tapping around at idle (and can hear it from inside) then that's the coupler going out. If you hear that sound driving down the road then it's probably pinging.

    Idling, it's practically silent, at normal loads, soothing whine. I'll make a video when I go to try to get the bung done in about an hour.

    Thanks!

    I do get a bit of a rumble I can hear from the inside. I'll also have to make a vid on it. Mostly at lower revs. But having had a Tacoma Magnuson, I known they do tend to make some noises

    I don’t care for that one, it’s a crap showing on behalf of supercharged tundras everywhere. Untuned Harrop on a truck on 35s, steel bumper, and driven poorly VS a stock tire (in the race not the thumbnail) 3rd gen. Let me have a go…:ballchain:

    True. I just think it doesn’t properly highlight the stark difference in power there truly is. But are you suggesting that…

    Does @reywcms have NASA gold shielding on his rig?!?

    These are universal facts.

    The first time I saw the video all those factors you pointed out bothered me but he won twice despite the handcaps. This only fuels the Tundra Generation Wars.
