First off, I like to thank:
1) gwu128 - He, again, took a day off to help ClubLexus install the intakes and the piggyback ECU. This guy, I swear, can operate his own shop. If you need ANY assistance with installing your intake and ECU, do not hesitate to contact him.
2) MrGS400nSoCali - He took a vacation day to loan his car for the dyno.
3) SP-Engineering - They gave us a more comprehensive tour around their shop. They will be doing some awesome engine swap for a GS300 in the summer time. Stay on the lookout for their project car in the "Turbo Magazine". By the way, the owner drives this really nice orange Lambo....
Thank you GGP4me and LS400 GOD for coming out and giving moral support.
As for the dyno itself, It was an exhausting day. With the heat setting in, man, it was crazy. However, in the end, it was a very disappointing dyno day. One of the companies failed to give ClubLexus the wiring diagram for their piggyback ECU. I called twice (2x) to request them to fax it, and both times, SP-Engineering never recieved it. I will not be re-dynoing their product as I have to return the ECU.
It was my fault for not checking before hand if the companies had included all the directions. However, we did wait an additional 30 minutes for the fax to come in, which never came. At 3pm (we started at 11am), we all decided the day was over. I told each company that please send the package as if it was retail. One company took it serious and the other, well, not as serious.
I'll be doing the writeup and posting the dyno charts within the next few days.

I was sooooooooooooo tired when driving back from SP-Engineering......
I almost fell asleep a few times on the road (actually, I closed my eyes a few times...I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer)...
Glad you got back safely MrGs400nSoCali.

Thank you everyone who participated in this Dyno. Ethan, I must say, you have done a great thing since taking over as Admin. These Dyno's are very important to us and it's nice to see the effort go in to it. However, the next Dyno should include some of us GS300/IS300 members. We need some love too....
