4.6 Tundra performance

I am looking to try and get the most power from the 4.6. What are some great options to get the most hp i can out of the truck.

 

Depends on if you're interested in forced induction or not. But, I'm assuming no? haha If you are, well it gets expensive real fast.

There's not a lot out for the 4.6 but you can slap on some headers which would absolutely help. I don't believe the Bullydog products support the 4.6 platform, just the 5.7 but @dirtydeeds is the place to ask. I know they carry only the best, and I know i've seen some dudes using the JBA Shorty Headers from there for a little more low end pep.

There is a tune out there for our crappy 4.6 but I dont remember what it is. Definitely not something bully dog offers though.

 

stick to P rated tires, keep it stock, and throw out anything (including seats) that you don't use for less weight.

 

Lol!

After looking at your profile pic, I wonder if a regear wouldn't help. That's a big lift / tire combo for the 4.6.

 

Actually, it serves me well. I'm only running 33's (they're AT's)
I MAY need a regear if I jump to 34's but many people say it shouldn't be an issue with AT's. Now MT's would be a different story.

Towed about 6k without any problems for a good 6-7 hours straight. Barely knew it was back there.

After I got them, I barely felt a difference in pickup power and back end torque, same with shift points and my speedometer is spot on. Albeit a 1mpg drop, it's performed perfectly well.

 

Lol, my bad Law I was talking about the OP. Looks like dude is running a 12 inch lift and 37's.

 

Oh hell, I wouldn't even think about 37's without a regear on a 5.7 much less a 4.6! LOL

All good. I was thinking huh.....guess my truck looks higher than I think it does. *self five*
You just killed that self five. Dammit.

 

4.88 gears
Electric fans
Hypertech
Sabm
Throttle body coolant bypass

Give a call. I can help you turn your truck into an entirely different animal with all of the above.

 

Trade it in for a 5.7...

 

Yes, bullet proof lift on a 4.6. Was for appearance purposes but I'm using my truck like a truck and a huge lift really lags on the performance. Truck is just about paid off so I'll soon have me money to throw into the truck. Interesting i never thought of the coolant bypass but i would most definitely need a larger radiator for the electric fans. What is the sabm? Gears are actually coming within the next couple month.

 

Better to sell it if i do that since im sure i wont get much for trade in. However i dont want another truck payment.

 

Stock Air Box Mod....

 

There is an afe air intake already no need for charcoal filter mod. Almost seems like i can't do much else. Just waiting for Keith to get those long tube headers made...

 

The longtubes are coming along soon enough! Maybe another month till they are out

 

Guess what this is

 

Take my money already.... definitely want... 4.6 long tubes?

 

just waiting to hear back from the prototype truck.

 

Probably the cheapest option - $ for Hp.

Regearing is a slam-dunk for improvement IMHO

 

EXPENSIVE...LOL Wish I could afford them.

 

These headers, bamufflers race exhaust, regear, throttle body coolant bypass, hypertech= kicktheassofa5.7

 

What is a TB coolant bypass? @dirtydeeds

 

Remove the throttle body from a coolant loop. Unless you live where it's cold why heat up your throttle body to 200*???

 

Is there a link on a DIY to this? I would love to try it out and see what happens.

 

@dirtydeeds

Is it okay to do the bypass in San anotiono weather even during winter time?

 

I personally would. It doesn’t get cold enough to care. That said, use st your own risk. Haha

 

I always found shorty headers to do a good job. With a proper tune even better. But shorty headers typically do not require a tune.

 

Hey guys I need help. I tried the Hrottlebody coolant bypasson my 4.6. But I dnt knw how to run the hose coming from the egr to the tb..please help. The 5.7 videos dnt show anything about egr so might not be ran the same
