I've got a friend who sts offered to use his truck to build a kit for it but couldn't go without his truck for over a month so im sure they are at least in the process of designing a kit

Don't have a clue. but i have talked to ppl who are skeptic about FI on the new 5.7's. I've heard they're already pretty built motors from the factory. Is there anyone on the forum with one of these? Maybe they would know a little more.

why waste your money? TRD has a supercharger utilizing the new EATON TVS technology. It comes with everything including tuning.

Everything except traction. Sounds like that would be real hard to beat, go with it.

I bet the STS is close to the same price and not smog legal. I would suggest he saves.

I have a Tundra and just wanted to say the the TRD supercharger is awsome for that thing. I have seen a TRD supercharged Tundra in person and it is an animal. In stock form the truck are hard to even get traction to begin with. I had 3 Silverados and have modded yada yada yada, they are great trucks and still a fan of them, I am a GM guy for life. But when you have a cousin that owns a Toyota dealership and offers you a brand new Tundra for 21900.00 otd, its hard to turn something like that down. The power is downright amazing in this thing. Unfortunately there is no tuning. I am on the Tundra forums, but thier tunes aren't that great yet. I wish HP Tuners would come out with some software. I doubt they ever will. I love the HP tuners!
