Its not the HP that's the kick with this swap it's the torque, 1st gear is almost useless with the V6, not so with the S/C motor. I had 2 before the swap, Toyota replaced the 1st one + S/C, then S/C took crap, then no compression on #1 for the second time, I don't think the 2.4 is up to it, TRD's BAD. Can turbocharging this dog be any better? I didn't get over 15K miles out of either S/C motor. Maybe using the K&N cold air was a factor, but it was way faster with it. I haven't installed that on the V6 yet. I'm sure it will be way scarier. I'll need a new final gear to make 1st gear useful.

I'm old, but have video capability, what do you want me to video? Driving in the car? Driving past the camera? Give me some ideas on what a good video would consist of...
We have a dyno at work, I could try to use it, is it really necessary to strap it down?
I'm thinking this motor is probably making 240-250 hp since it spanks my buddy's GXP GP. That makes 303, but weighs 3800.
Also, first gear lasts less than a second at WOT and you have to watch hitting the rev limiter in 1st and 2nd, which is a miserable 6200 rpm. The rev limiter kills the potential HP, since it won't spin as high as it can. I think that this and exhaust design are what's different between a Sienna and Camry engine.
