Nice truck Devin. The company I work for built the door panels and seats in that truck. +3 on putting the TRD SC on that thing. Couple years back at a truck here there was one with the charger and nitrous running low 12's in one.

Here is the ROTREX system:







Supercharger:

* Rotrex C38 series supercharger: advanced compact design, high efficiency, and near silent operation.

Fuel Delivery:

* Upgraded 668cc fuel injectors
* Injector harness adapters included; no cutting or splicing
* Upgraded 255 LPH fuel pump with high flowing & easy to change fuel filter

Charge Air Cooler:

* Includes large high capacity, efficient front mount air to air intercooler

Spark Plugs:

* Includes six Denso Iridium IKH-22 spark plugs (cooler than stock)

Engine Management:

* No outside US market ECU re-flash problems. The advanced engine management is completely plug and play. No cutting or splicing wires nor reflash hassles. Can be removed when vehicle is traded or sold.
* Active dynamic self tuning/adjusting fuel control to maintain correct air/fuel ratio
* Vehicle speed limiter can be raised by end user (manual transmission trucks only)
* Advanced Engine Guardian, automatically decreases the engine power if proper air/fuel ratio cannot be maintained or engine begins to overheat and alerts the driver. Protects the engine!!
* Improved shifting over stock ECU for manual transmission vehicles
* Check Engine light used as shift light, flashes 200 RPM below new engine redline (adjustable)
* Ships with (end user adjustable) URD calibration programmed into the X-1
* Instantly change calibration maps on the fly with plug in USB drive. Unlimited additional calibrations
* Launch control, programmable for RPM hold, amount of spark retard, and spark retard return rate so you do not exceed tire traction limits on race launches

Cam Timing:

* Exhaust cam sprockets, retards exhaust cam timing for reduced knock potential and better cylinder filling. Provides more torque and power

Cooler Thermostat:

* Engine thermostat replaced with 170 degree unit and housing for better engine cooling
