Off the Toyota website... it appears the supercharger is not a factory
install.

The spiciest pepper of the Tacoma lineup. The S-Runner features a lower ride
height, 16x6.5-inch aluminum wheels with P235/55R16 Bridgestone Potenza
tires, sport seats, white-faced gauges and an available TRD body kit. And if
you really want to cook, install the available TRD supercharger and stoke
Tacoma's already potent V6 to a scorching 260 hp. Try an S-Runner today:
you're sure to get some fire in the belly.

True, that is pretty spunky for a V6 truck, seeing a V6 Dakota with ONLY a
supercharger would be hard-pressed to get into the 15's (well, better then a
high 15 anyway), but the Dakota is also a beefer truck then the toy. Most
superchaged V6 Dakotas put out what, 220-230 HP, if that? What size engine
is in that toy?
