AND something AMAZING happened this morning ridin on the Interstate.
I started racing around with a BONNEVILLE.
*gulp*

See I drove a Bonneville around for a bit and thought it was FAST. 3.08s? It was!
U and i both know them 3800 series 2 engines dont play.
Anyways I was excited to get in the first race. Bought it in October.

Changed the oem pcv valve at 275k. She liked it a lot and we kinda started making out a lil..
Getting along great. :)
Now it'z got a k&n in the stock filter box, i threw the muffler, resonator, and pinche tip away and installed a 2.5" Dynomax super turbo with a 3x12" double walled chrome pencil tip.

Walked past that Bonneville at 100mph. Wow. Bad mother -

Tops out @ 112 - speedo says 140 :rolleyes:

Its seems to need more advance. The timing curve pretty much sucks i've decided...it's all low end. Idles at 17° and takes her sweet time gettin into the goody. The midrange is pretty dead....So today I started looking for more. :rolleyes: it made me think of u dudes....

CHAT estimates given the intake, exhaust, and slight timing or flow mods:

Horsepower: ~230–240 hp

Torque: ~235–245 lb-ft

I've got a new Lexus air inlet for a 460 with silencer deletes that needs installed tomorrow maybe. Toyota haz parts interchangability? We.shall.see!

I'm puttin in a LOT of work trying to figure out how to go from 17s back to 15 inch wheels. You aint never seen a lowered Highlander - yet. :headbang:

The interchangability has GOT to be there but has yet to be established. AND there simply arent any in the junk yard to play with...sounds stupid but it's true.

3.21 geared
Crystal White (074)
All wheel drive
5spd automatic
independent rear suspension
4whl discs
cold AC / rear heat
$2500 for this $32k 2007, 3.3L Highlander Sport
15/17mpg (*corrected tank capacity)
277k miles and every button works - I ain't goin back :Nonono:

Last year of 1st gen Highlander
Last year it was MADE IN JAPAN
(2008s were made in Tennessee -wildly different)
Last year for traditional interior (without a dash screen & with gauges)
