    My time is coming to increase power and everything. Reliability is still top priority though albeit the maintenance intervals are going to are going to be more constant. But here are my questions if anyone here knows what would be best.

    2018 Tundra Crewmax currently running on 315 x 12.50 r17 on a 2 inch lift. Looking forward to doing a Ironman Performance or Elka Performance Suspension setup w/d Deavers. And running in 37" tires with about 1600 payload. Goal is to do all four, if not at least 3 performance modifications to my Tundra

    1. Supercharger, going with Harrop SC on a stage 2.
    2. JBA Long tube headers and a new exhaust system that's legal in California.
    3. Regearing to accommodate to 37s while not trying to throw my suspension out of whack.
    4. Transmission IPT valve body for AB60E/F?

    What's the best way to do all this in logical order? Benefit of doing one vs another? And to those who have done all of these, what changes or recommendation you would make or advise?

    All help and comments are welcomed.

    Lol I had a very strong feeling someone will recommend him! And don't get me wrong I'd love me a Race Exhaust system that's suitable though for California.

    Very true I talked with him once, great guy, pretty short conversation but not unfortunate. Just happened to be me being indecisive at the time and deciding what fits my wants and needs at the time.

    I think I read somewhere if you pair the long tubes with a SC, you would have to do a custom tune. Someone on here had a hell of a time with that.

    Yeah I really figured that would be the case. I'm very positive there is someone that a very similar set-up so I wanna see what obstacles and or barriers were at hand. And to recall, ProSpeed reached out to me just recently out in Texas but I haven't returned a call.

    At this point I've come to love my Tundra they way it's turning out. Now I'm feeling like those Avatars from James Cameron's Avatar when they all connect their hair to the dang banshees :anonymous:

    One day! If Toyota continues to go down this road, I would not mind having a I-Force Max but has to be in a LC 200. We'll see though!

    Nice I love it! So that answers my question a bit here. If doing a SC from Harrop I'm going to need a new exhaust system that'll let up on restrictions here. Possibly and quite possibly will save me money in the long-run since there will be no need to run a DD Race System since I am aiming to run a stage 2 unless noted otherwise

    I have long tubes and gears, it honestly hauls very well right now, still would like s/c but the urge is less than before.

    Do the supercharger first, everything is cheaper after that :D plus you get more performance from that by itself than everything else combined

    I have 35's with 4:88's and you will definitely want 5:29's with the 37's.

    I would skip 37’s and run 35’s instead with 5.29

    This. Go as high as you can and still stomach the highway RPMs. On my F150 I went from 3.31 to 4.88 on 35s. Such a great improvement in drivability.

    The highway rpm is no biggie. The engine is very well balanced. No vibrations. Mpg isn’t ruined by it either unless it’s overly revving.

    That's what I meant by the highway RPM comment. Only really concerned about MPGs at that point.
