Oh snap, the supply is dwindling. I am sure glad I have mine. I just got to test it out on its first 3500 mile road trip through the West and Northwest this last holiday season. I can't imagine ever going back to NA. It handles those mountain passes waaaay better than before, even weighed down with a ton of gear.
always been curious...how does a SC affect gas mileage? does it improve it any, anything substantial?
Curious if Toyota throws in a free headgasket with that?
Does anyone have a comment about the performance at higher RPM? My SC pulls well at lower RPM ... at Highway Speed it revs and downshifts readily enough when I step on the gas ... but it seems to me like it should pull stronger than it actually does. Anyone else have this experience with the SC installed or is it just me looking for more power that it can make at that RPM / Speed?

That is the nature of the SC on the 1FZFE. It is good off the line, but at the top end it falls on it's face.
Thanks for the confirmation....I agree it is weak at higher rpm ranges. Maybe I should put in a Turbo? I need more pull at the higher rpm ranges. My truck is heavy and it is will be getting heavier over the next 2 months while I build it out.

Scratch that. There was only one left in the nation in the portland warehouse as of this morning.

Gone.
None at this time. It is rumored that there is a run of 10 kits in production but I have no hard evidence. If the rumor is based in fact I would imagine them to surface sometime in very late spring.
It improved my MPG by about 1-2MPG if I keep it out of boost, so 14.5-16.5 MPG. If I am boosting up a large freeway grade then it goes down to single digits pretty quickly.
Sounds like it. I'm glad I got one, it serves my needs perfectly. Looks like Filmpros might have a used one available in the future.
Ya me to. BUT mine is still in the box unopened. To many projects before the SC.It improved my MPG by about 1-2MPG if I keep it out of boost, so 14.5-16.5 MPG. If I am boosting up a large freeway grade then it goes down to single digits pretty quickly.

Market price just went up though.
LOL..
A. you are concerned about gas mileage owning a heavy LC
B. putting on a SC on said heavy LC
C. if you can afford the SC you can afford stopping at the pump sonner than most.
I get 230-240 a tank
We usually get around 260-275
