LOL.

This might be a stupid question but is the ISF ECU the first recent Toyota product to be fully flashed tuned utilizing the factory ECU? I mean besides the FRS/BRZ twin which are basically fully Subarus underneath.

Oh and Rafi, I will be sending more datalogs to you through Dashcommand with my new OBDLink adapter once the weather clears up, probably today. It's been raining in SoCal for the last couple days.

I'd be more curious to see AFRs from tuned cars.

Pretty sure someone has been doing the same thing with recent Tundras

Not that unlikely. Have a look at the C63 maps from the likes of Eurocharged and MSL.

Rafi knows he has gained a very strong reputation on this forum and the community in general in quite a short period of time. He would never risk that over inflated or inaccurate dyno results. That is why I said you should discount the numbers themselves, and focus on the gains from the two runs.

Something had to give that HP increase, and my money says it's the tune.

I can understand the scepticism to a degree based on the hot air and lack of results in the past, but this is actually happening and is VERY real.

Time will prove not only have RR-Racing managed to achieve the holy grail of mods, but I am really confident they will also go on to offer the best and most comprehensive S/C kit ever as well.
Agreed, although the baseline dyno does seem low for the mods I HIGHLY DOUBT RR racing would put their reputation on the line to purposely alter the dyno results.

I for one will definitely be doing a dyno pull on the same dyno that I used for my stock baselines and exhaust baselines after the tune.

No but I know an E92 M3 V8 only picks up about 10-12rwhp from the tune. Most of the power is extracted from removing the cats. Do the Eurocharged AMGs remove cats at the same time?

40rwhp is what a JB4 stage 1 will get you on an FI F8x M3.

I see Steve is causing a ruckus here

I also work with Steve at Fabspeed and I've heard of his work while he was still at PSI. If there's any question of the numbers, I'm a unbiased 3rd party and I'm a witness to all that went down last night. As soon as my turbo is on my SC, Steve will be tuning my car.

APR says they pick up 60 crank HP on an R8 V10 tune. Who picks up 70 wheel HP?

I'm guessing it's all dependant on how 'safe' Lexus told Yamaha to set things? If they dialed it back like they did on the Supra for example, we all know just how seriously capable that 2JZ can be without forging the internals!

Just a thought.

I lose 24 hours of my lifespan (as all of us do) a day so no pressure on the time frame or anything...

FI tunes add boost thus adding serious amounts of power. Seeing these numbers from an FI tune wouldn't be surprising.

Stock:

R8 - 100 HP/Liter
ISF - 83 HP/Liter

See the difference?

The numbers RR Racing is showing put their car at about 500 crank HP (depending on drivetrain and efficiency losses) or about 100HP/Liter. You should recognize that number because it appears to be a wall to most NA vehicles (except those that have the money to go exotic).
