Please recommend 1st mods for 02 Dbl Cab

[Juveniler]

Hi there, I just got a 2002 Double Cab, and I'd like to know what people recommend to upgrade so I can get more HP into my baby. I was thinking about just getting a k&n air filter....would anyone know how much HP that adds at the wheel? And do throttle body spacers work at all??

Thanks

well, if you really wanna go crazy, get yourself a crazy little winch, and be really really cool =]

hehe, i definatly dont recommend a good winch as a first mod, but still, they definatly will be needed in extreme off-roading

My first mod was a K&N Filtercharger Gen 2. The specs say it will increase crank HP up to 10. I used a G-tech and measured maybe 6 or 7 peak increase at the wheel. It's enough to peel my tires from a standstill. It's loud when you push hard on the pedals but is quiet during normal driving.

The spacer is supposed to create a spin the intake flow causing it to mix better. I haven't seen any test results or heard of any first hand testimonials but from my engineering background would not expect it to be a significant difference. The fact that it doesn't work with the K&N filtercharger makes it a no brainer with me.

If you want more horsepower, go with headers, exhaust, and then supercharge it. But don't do it before me....I wouldn't want to be outdone. Hahaha...
