ED that's very impressive bro, that's exactelly what i wanted on pump gas but my tuner is not as good as Alpha so the first time I made 476rwhp at 15lbs.
And the last tune was in Mexico but no dyno time, so i am not sure about the numbers and the CR was dropped since i used the 2mm instead of the 1.3mm.
I told you you will love it , you won't need 24lbs to make 600rwhp lol i knew it could be done.
Are you gonna do some race gas tune?
I wouldn't give me that much credit. Granted. I do try my hardest to do the best I can when I tune. I don't grab people's money and run. I try to work with and educate. At the same time I am not going to work for free. But. Ed has been slowly letting his guard down and taking input from me. It took us a while to get a larger a/r turbine housing and bigger camshafts on his car. I think once he saw the gains from that he was more open to my suggestions. He's put together a very efficient setup. And has learned A LOT throughout all of this. Hopefully he will share everything he has learned with others.

You're right. After I figured out a timing curve that would work with our issue. I let the engine and setup make power. The air:fuel was fat but not too fat. Even the owner of the dyno sat in on a pull to watch Ed's wideband against his wideband. His wideband read .4 - .6 leaner. The timing is where it needs to be. The knock control is VERY aggressive.

I could have easily made 610whp. But. I don't have a backpressure reading. Between that, the mileage, stock combustion chambers, etc. I left it there.

To be honest. I know everyone has their own agenda. Usually one of them being dyno numbers. I feel it's a waste of time and money to tune for a number on a fuel you will never use. Ontop of that your wideband sensor doesn't mix with lead. You would need to purchase a new wideband with an NTK sensor. That and I really don't like pushing Brian Crower single springs to and/or past 28lbs with those 268 camshafts.

I did notice that when you would drive away from lights. You would leave every car behind. I started watching engine load. You never once made ANY boost.

Thanks for your continued support Ed. Here's the problem. A LOT of the cars are not ready for a standalone. They have wiring issues, compression issues, leakdown issues, the wrong combination of parts, one/five/ten year old fuel filters, etc.

Alot of people thing am a "Civic" guy when we talk about HG and CR and some guy even bashed me on the GS section lol.
No offense to ANYONE. But. A lot of people don't think outside the box in the Toyota/Lexus community. 9:1 isn't high compression. 9.4:1 isn't high compression. Mention quench area and the majority of Toyota/Lexus owners will laugh, tilt their head and say que area what.
Ed what Throttle cable are you running? 4 runner or land cruiser? thanks.
omar . throttle cable is a hybrid oem and isuzu truck cable spliced together because of adjusting mechanism i needed to work on this manifold and q45 tb

waz up shawn .. actually yes i plan on making the switch to e85 ... i have a ats carbon /carbon twin disk clutch coming from japan , so when i get the r154 re done to handle to higher trq the e85 will produce ill now have a clutch rated for 1000hp so doing about 700 rwhp on the corn should be a cake walk
