That's the reason I went with the Takeda. Their dyno 'results' showed less loss than others below 3k.

I'm strictly look for 0 to 60 time improvements. So none of the intakes will fit this bill?

Scion.com is also claiming the tCs get 180 hp stock which isnt true unless you tune the car the 11 hp gain for the takeda is there but its in cool environments i get quite the boost when its really cold if i get the chance ill go get mine dyno'd this week and then ill put the stock back in a do it again

Scion's claims are true. All manufacturers are give you power that the engine itself makes at the crank. Most dynos are going to give you the result at the wheels, which is always less (typically around 15%). This is due to the power that is lost in turning the drivetrain and also components that are connected to the belt system (a/c, power steering, and anything else that may be applicable).

I hope you have a nice hookup at a shop. The results you are going to find are probably not going to warrant the couple hundred dollars a couple of dyno pulls are going to cost you.

So what mods other than forced induction will make a difference to the 0-60 time?

Nothing that you just bolt on is going to change your 0-60. I'd say the most noticeable difference for the least amount of money is probably going to be a light weight crank pulley. I can't wait to get my NST pulley in and see if it's all they crack it up to be.
