Boy, now that's what I call an open-ended question...

How much money and/or effort do you want to spend?

How close to stock do you want to stay?

Do you mind a lumpy idle?

Do you mind voiding the factory warranty?

Do you want to have to search out strange things on a regular basis
like a gas station selling 108 Octane Racing Gasoline, Octane Boost
additives by the drum, or a bulk rate on Nitrous Oxide refills?

Would you have any ethical or financial problems bribing the guy at
the Smog Inspection Station to get it passed every year or two,
because the engine has been modified beyond recognition? (It's
probably going to cost you in the low four figures each time.)

Do you mind occasionally blowing up the motor, paying for a long tow
to get it to your favorite tuner shop, and having to buy a new
long-block and start over from scratch?

The closer you get to the bottom of the list before you started
saying "No", the faster you can go. If you wanted to spend enough,
you could start running competitively at your local Saturday Night
Speedway Races or regional drag strip or road course.

You can get into SCCA Slaloms, where you can spend $800 on a set of
high performance tires, spend more to have the tire shop shave half
the tread off so they won't chunk, and then go scrub the rest of the
tread off that set of gumballs in a single weekend of racing.

I don't want to blow the engine. I have installed an AEM Brute force
intake. Installed Magnaflow dual exhaust system. I find it's hard to
find performance parts for Tundras compared to Chev, Dodge or Ford.I am
looking to add more performance, for reasonable amount of money.

If you've cleared out the intake and exhaust tracts, that's the easy
stuff - now it gets harder. You were not very clear on what year and
model Tundra you have - 200 isn't a valid date, and if it is they
weren't making internal combustion engines...

And where you live - if you don't have to deal with biennial smog
checks and 'certificates of compliance' on all aftermarket parts
added, it makes modifications a lot easier.

You might check into TRD goodies like a turbocharger or supercharger
- adding a bit of boost is an effective way to wake up the beast. I'd
search a bit but I'm not sure what vehicle.
