this may be a little off the orginal topic, but ive been hearing a lot of 2.7 S/C posts goin on and this is the way im lookin at it from my standpoint, with stock motors we're only off by 25-30 hp from the v6, my whole exhaust upgrades and intake have pretty much brought me up to the point where my friend test drove mine one time and had a hard time comparing it to his 98 v6 4runner (both with same tires and wheels, roughly same weight due to mods) , the SC on mine would prb bring me up to neck in hp with a plain v6 SC'd if im doing the math right, but ive also tampering with the idea of LC's performance head which they have no info on the site, but thats another big mod right there, bottomline the 2.7 has potential its just a little extra work
