What is the # of torque that is improved with the SC?
Does towing ability increase dramatically?

I would assume since efficiency goes up dramatically.

Hesco had rear wheel around 508hp and torque is beastly. Because only two wheels can get on the machine I'm not sure how accurate it is especially regards to torque.
As far as towing. I think you could pull whatever you could stop. I never pulled anything with mine other than an aluminum motorcycle trailer which isn't a good indicator because of how light it is.

Supposedly it generates 538hp but I'm not sure how it's tuned.
Edit. Here are the specs, I was off a bit. Lol. TRD 5.7 Tundra Supercharger Specs - 504 HP and 550 LB-FT Torque!
Also in not sure if these are specs for the new 2013-2015 series SC

After the custom tune I get almost 20 at 75mph. Ave 16 I'm guessing

Mine also has Thorley headers. It's really just stupid fast. It will pin you to your seat

The only vehicle that has left me in the dust is a Cadillac V car and a tesla model p85s. Porsche Cayenne can't touch it. Hyundai Genesis coupes get their feelings hurt. So does the guy with the new mustang gt.

What's the total price?

supercharger kit which includes inter coolers and injectors, headers and cat back was 12k installed a few years ago. The custom tune ended up being another 6. Brakes which I would highly recommend 1k. I added up everything I've done to mine and it made me a little sick last night.
The cost of mods is priceless -- never do the actual math. Never.

cost of SC, Kit, and ECU is $7100. The Unichip ECU comes pre tuned and is pretty much plug and play out of the box, especially since Unichip has worked directly with Magnuson. They ask you a few questions to get the right tune. I guess you tweak it a little but I don't see how that would cost 6K.
Sparks says it will take 9 hours to install..lets say 12 for good measure at $110/hour = $1320
SC, fit kit, ECU = $7100
Install = $1320

Fair warning. Unichip didn't have the program for LC. Which runs different software than Tundra. Mine was in and out of a shop for throwing codes for a long time. I'm told they have changed it and part of that is from mine. Also why my custom tune was so expensive. When you're the first one through the line you get your nose blooded sometimes. I'm fairly meticulous so any little blip drove me crazy.

I talked with Sparks Toyota about this, which is why I went with UniChip, and they said all of the code throwing has been fixed. They confirmed that UniChip and Magnuson worked together to get it cleared. Sparks ordered the ECU on my behalf and when it arrived it specifically stated it was tuned for a 200series land cruiser.
thank you for being the Guinea pig
