wow. to be completely honest, i could give two ***** if you do or dont believe me. i am not a toyota rep, nor do i own or want a tundra. i saw what i saw, and if it were my truck, i would post a timeslip, but it aint.
i have seen a stock tacoma with a 4 cyl 5 speed run a 9.30 in the 1/8th down here....just as fast as my truck right now. some trucks are just freaks off the lot, and apparently yours and mine were not, so we have to mod.

My friends 2005 double cab v6 tacoma ran 14.8 bone stock from the factory with full tank of 87, then 14.66 with the exhaust unbolted down here, but considering the variables I wouldn't call it a "freak". (-2000da)
Yeah, some vehicles run better maybe a couple tenths, but we are talking a whole second quicker here.
Anyway, back to the tundra. Do you understand what an 8.30 in the 1/8th is? An 8.30 is a high 12 in the 1/4 mile. That guy was telling you a BONE STOCK tundra is clicking off high 12s, not only a high 12, a high 12 on stock tires! Then 7.80s on a 100 shot is around a low 12 around a 12.1 or so in the 1/4. He has to be pulling a low 1.7 60" on stock rubber or trapping 10+ more mph than any other stock tundra I've seen or heard of.
Are you sure he didn't have the trd supercharger on it or something under all that plastic?
You need to go back to the track and talk to this guy and tell him to get on here!

that was actually me that made that post, and that Tundra spanked a c6 corvette, along with spanking me. i looked it over twice, and the guy thought it was hilarious...but he was running a 100 shot and a muffler...nothing else. he ran a 7.82 best that night, i watched him run a few times. unbelievable?? not for me.
some trucks are freaks from the factory, and this one was! i have seen a few run 9.10 or 9.00 up there, but they were quad cabs, and n/a......but this was a rcsb..... 4.30 gears and a 5.7 iforce, and it was unbelievable!!
it was, however, ugly as ****.

Also, I seem to remember a 600' track being in the Mobile area. There used to be one up here until the went back to 660'. That may explain the times.

I'm guessing the guy had the TRD supercharger under the plastic. I heard it was recalled, though? They were having a hard time with compatibility or something? I dunno.
Anyways, if I had to choose today I'd probably build a 6.0 RCSB Chevy/GMC or 6.1 Ram RCSB. I'm a Mopar guy at heart but nobody has stepped up to the plate as far as tuning goes... and I love the parts interchangability on the Gen-III small block Chevys.
If i haven't made up my mind by next year I'll probably just swap a 5.7 into my '91 and keep saving for the '09-'10 Challenger

Gotta add my .02... I have to say REAL AMERICAN MUSCLE does not come in the form of Toyota.
I owned a toy once, it was a nice 4x4 no maintenance issues etc. But, anyway you cut the cake it's still not an American classic. Buy the rcsb, drop in a built 6.0 for about the same $ as a Tundra and see if you still like the feel, sound, or look of the toy any better. NOT 4 me, but maybe you. And lastly a stock or gassed Toyota is NOT gonna out run a Corvette under any weather/track conditions unless the driver was asleep at the tree, sorry...

There is a rcsb tundra that runs here at hrp in houston ive seen hit 12.9-13.0 s on street tires. His mods I heard were a cai,muffler and a 100 shot. Pretty impressive!! So a 7.8 would put him way deep in the 12s, now thats a freak

I have raced a new Tundra. The toy was stock and my truck has some bolt-ons and I onlt got him by a 10th. I was like" holy crap!, if this dude puts an exhaust on he will beat me! ) If GM won't build a fast truck to hang with everyone then I'll do it for them. So sad. I almost got smoked by a stock import in my modded American HotRod.
