I finally took the supercharger off today and mailed it to Procharger. It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be to get it off of the engine. I can't wait to hear from them and see what's going on with the charger. I might even ask them to send me a smaller pulley and i'll pay them for it...still debating.

I hear a lot of complaints on RoRo's ride. People like RoRo are why the aftermarket will come to the IS. We need people like him that push the envelope. Now would I ever do something like that...NO WAY.... but I would love to have the supercharger, headers, exhaust, gears, ect...ect...ect that will come from guys that tear it up at the track. I hope the venders are not reading this thread and throwing there thoughts about aftermarket products for the IS out the window. We all need to stand behind him on this one. Way to go RoRo!!!

RoRo - what size pulley do you have on there now? Its just pushing 5 PSI of boost right? Not sure how they size the Procharger pulleys but next step down in size should give you 7-8 PSI no? That is going to put down alot more power heh.

I cannot believe anyone would have a problem with what RoRo is doing. All I can say is, I think it is great! I hope that none of the negative comments discourages RoRo from keeping us updated with his progress, in his goals. I respect what he is doing and am anxiously awaiting all the details. Thanks RoRo!

I spoke with one of the reps at Procharger about 2 weeks ago and she said that they should be getting to my unit the next week. So any day now i'm expecting a package to come to my front door. I can hardly wait, it's sad seeing the IS up on jack stands in my garage.

What is ricey about putting race seats in a track car? There is no such thing as rice. It is just different mods for different people. Rice is a definaition used by people who have no respect for others.

I support this project 100% It is his car and he can do whatever he wants to it. Good luck with the project.

Ricey? He is turning his IS350 to be a true racing beast! He currently has the fastest Lexus around.

Nice work RoRo. Like to see your updates.
