horsepower

ok i have a great 2000 4runner, but it only has a 4 cyl. :banghead: I plan on getting a k&n air filter for some more horsepower, is this going to make a big difference? any other upgrades u can request for me? Thanks.

It doesnt sound like its a 4x4, so I would suggest NOT going with a K&N filter, and rather going with a whole K&N intake system. IT will cost you about 200 bucks, but well spent. With a decent exhaust system (something else you will FOR SURE want to invest in) this should give you anothr 8-12 hp. You can also look into headers and removing the cat. Basically, horsepower comes down to airflow. The more air you can promote, the better it will be. Intake, exhaust, headers, removal of cat, and some bigger injectors maybe too. Remember, horsepower costs in gas mileage, but can be obtained if you do the right steps. Good luck!

well im not too concerned with the power, so I know I dont want to spend $200 right now, would just getting the k&n air filter do anything for me?

You'll notice a little difference. I'll be honest, it won't be much, but it will be noticeable. the filter will keep your air cleaner tho. Don't forget to get the cleaning kit with it too. The first thing I would recommend when you do feel like putting out a little money tho, is the exhaust. Magnaflow is great....my personal recomendation. Good luck
