FYI, our designated forum will be "Car Chat". Not our first choice, but hey, what are you going to do.

Well, we're done.

Boxes will ship back to Juan tomorrow.

We think you'll be very pleased with the results. Juan, remember, the first 30-40 miles need to be extremely hard in manual mode, then swtich to auto and drive hard until you hit 200 miles post tuning. Do not test (dyno/track) until after you rack up at least 200 miles.

Most importantly, enjoy!!!

MHP, what happens when our cars go in for service and the dealer decides to upgrade to a newer CAL ID?

I have seen this happen a few times where a car goes to the dealer for some minor service and the technician decides to update the ECU. Just wondering how this affects your tune, if at all?

Interesting point...

I had that done to my IS300 on 3 different occasions.. involving Trac Ecu updates.. The entire system was upgraded / reflashed each time..

WoW good job guy's, I've been following this post from day one. Was this ecm any harder to tune than others? This is insane, we had people trying to crack the toyota codes for years, and you guy's have done it in 2 day's !!!! Please pm me some info on upgrading a gs400 ecm, and a price as well as expected gains. Thanx, and again good f,ting job
