TRD has mostly very high quality (OEM level fit and finish) parts, that are on the conservative side.

There is definitely a market for these types of parts! Not everyone wants the fastest setup out there, made by a small speed shop. Some want parts developed and produced with the backing of a major company with no impact on warranty or emissions legality.

While this has been the recent norm for TRD, you may want to take a look at their history in a bit more detail. Like the development around the NA Beams 3SGE.. 2.0L 270+ hp NA 9,000 rpm.
Look at the cams, the awesome exhaust manifold and ITBs.

We can hope TRD is getting more serious with the recent offerings for the Lexus IS and the launch of the BRZ/FRS/86.
