Nice James great results and gains. Thanks for your unbiased and truthful dyno's like always...In your opinion worth getting? What does the microprocessor consist of? Any CEL's? Congrats on 400whp N/A. Do you think you would be able to squeeze out a few more horses if the weather was cooler? Jaslapp1 367=416, You 370=420whp? Hoping to see a near 12 second run at the track or let me get ahead of myself and I say 11's lol...Curious to what the results will be for the Elite headers?
$1295 + 6-8 hour install time. As for the warranty, yeah you just never know. If you're at all worried then you shouldn't mod your car.

If this wasn't caymandive'r doing all this (or gernby, or i guess lance) I wouldn't believe the results. Dyno's are always fudged to sell products. However, caymandive ALWAYS makes sure the t's are cross and the i's are dotted. Really impressive gains! Congrats james.

Thanks for your response James I agree that's quite an impressive gain. I am going to look into getting this mod. When will the headers be ready for sale?

42 HP gains for $1295 + install sounds like a great bang for the buck if you ask me. And to be honest I have never seen any bolt on part for any N/A engine net such a gain. I wouldn't have believed this if I hadn't seen it for myself, which is why I volunteered as a Guinea pig.

One thing that i see missing from all of these dynos are display and discussion of A/F ratios. Are you putting an O2 sensor when you dyno these cars? How do we know that these cars with all the increase air flow are not running lean as hell and producing the increased horse power and torque? I am not saying that is what happening. But as many cars i have modded in the past a dyno without having the AF tracing is pretty useless in my opinion.
Since no ECU tuning is being done you have no control over fuel or timing it would be very important to make sure what the AF ratio is during the run.

WoW James!!!
This is Great!!!
Your are the BEST Independent & UN-BIASED Tester I have come across here on Club Lexus...
You did some Great on your own research with our Exhaust & Intake Combo & ALL of our numbers were proven accurate by YOU...
I could only expect the same testing for these headers and I applaud you in advance for stepping up to the plate & taking on this task for our IS-F community.
Best Regards,
