performance chip

[CO4runner]

I have a 2006 4runner, 4.0L, sport edition. Can anyone provide feed back on the use of performance chips? Good, bad? thanks

I installed a performance computer in my moms 06 4Runner SR5 V8 4.7L and it didn't seem to make any real difference. The cold air intake and cat-back exhaust made the difference.

Is there any downside to the intake and exhaust? (mileage or reliability offroad?)

We've done both these mods in an '05 & '06 4R and we haven't experienced any negative issues. I personally don't advise messing with the cats no matter how much a company guarantees no problems. In my experience Toyota has a very sensitive cat system that doesn't like to be messed with. Just IMHO.

Get a V8.

So what do you figure just the intake is good for (even on a v8?) +8 hp at the wheels at the most?

Ours are both on V8's (intake/cat-back exhaust). Can't really attest to the increase in power cause the V8 is crazy fast already.

EDIT: I wanted to add that we noticed most of the HP gain once we installed our snorkel as I believe it acted as a forced air induction.
