Getting the Wheeling Fever

I'd like to start out with an after market cold air intake. I havn't found anyone that make one specificly for a T100. Will the Tundra one work? I would think I could make it work even if I had to slightly modify it, just wanted to get feedback from someone who has already tried.

I would think you could get better flow than that stock box. You must have done something with it. At least an upgraded filter?

What else have you done under the hood? MSD ignition? Where did you find your headers?

CAI does ZILCH, really think about it at best.
You want cold air to come into the engine, a cone filter mounted anywhere inside the engine bay draws air from where??? The hot engine bay! You get the kind or make one that is actually very close to the frontend it still draws in hot air somewhat. CAI is an oxymoron.
Unless you make or get a snorkel your not drawing in any cold air, only hot.
Headers, muffler/exhaust, MSD, and such will gain you something but not much. It isnt a muscle car, dont expect it to be one.
I noticed a great increase in throttle response after I cleaned the throttle body, it was all gummed up.

They make a chip for these trucks!? No... you have to send your ECU in, spend hundreds of $$ and get little gain. There isn't much available to make your 3.0 into a powerhouse. Swap in a 3.4, 4.0 V8 Lexus or get adventurous and swap in a 4.7 V8 and be done. Otherwise, your options are a bored TB, Downey or NWOR headers, open exhaust and filter. That's it, unless you want to do internal mods. All of that will net you about 15HP and run you about 2K.
