Good tuneup so it runs the way it's supposed to, then some track time to learn how to use it.

Help us out. Please define what you mean by:
1) "performance"
and
2) "massive cost"

What are you trying to do?

I'm going to move this topic over to the mods section.    Cheers! Pat

Also sorta depends on where you want the performance.  Braking?  Top speed?  Quickness?  Low rev power?  Long distanec comfort?  Cornering?

For someone asking for help, your tone is getting a little pissy.  You're just an anonymous user ID to most everyone on here.  We don't know squat about you or your abilities. 

Then you ask what is essentially an open ended rookie question and get fairly basic and simple answers because the nature of your question kind of indicates that you may not know that much.

So, I have to ask.  If you've got all this FJ experience, why don't you already know the answer?  Or at least know that the answer is "It depends on what you want."

Try a K&N filter and a Dynotune Jet Kit.
Sold it!

Travis398

do you still have the factory exhaust? I know It's not cheap to replace but not really a "massive cost"


When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

K&Ns are crap, go with UNI.....  K&Ns pass a LOT of fine silt, good way to open up the bore without taking the engine apart.

Fix up the crap suspension and take it to the Nurberg Ring, you won't need anything better!!
And remember don't let the bike take you some where that your brain hasn't arrived at least two seconds earlier
