    It's night and day, isn't it?

    My only problem is I find myself doing 80-85 and then getting 9mpg.

    I can pretty much use any gear to keep it at 65...did need to drop it to 4th on a long pull to keep trans cool,highest temp on trans was 203,pan did go to 218 for a minute the back to 203...I have a cooler, 3" lift?running 295..18 tires.I am heavy only get 8.2 mpg but it's running great as of now...no issues

    So I have 8 hours towing with the Supercharger and it it a game changer if you tow. I can pull most grades in 5th gear and maintain speed and even increase speed if I want too,wife was amazed we could maintain speed uphill. I am fortunate that this is not normally my daily but have been using it daily on this trip it has been awesome,drives like a normal truck until you punch it....Instant power,speed and an orchestra of wine, this is the direction Toyota should have resurrected instead of the new motor
    If anybody is thinking about going this route save your pennies and do it,should have done it sooner.

    Back from 2 weeks in Nashville roughly 8 hours from where I live,towing the camper was Heavy scaled at 14420 combined. Supercharger ran flawlessly truck got 8.5 out slight headwind 8.9 back ,temps on trans were 198 trans 203 converter most of the trip....sometimes went to 208 in traffic and hills mostly in S5 but larger longer pulls in S4.
    Love the Wine when pulling a grade it's just so easy to maintain speed usually 65 but easy to exceed 75 even towing.
