^Whichever cap you choose, Put a sticker on your radiator cap... Squeeze as much HP out of that cap as you can!!

the TRD one will give the most HP cuz it has a harmonic dampener built in to cancel out the frequency of the moving water within the radiator, thus freeing upto 10hp

The lightest one. It might save you a nanosecond or two off your 0-60 time and increase your mpg a billionth of a gallon per mile.
