I'm here and ready to test my tuned IS-F against MRxSLAYx. I dynoed 366WHP SAE corrected with smoothing set at 5 in 6th gear. Back then I tested my car against a stock IS-F, and by ~120MPH I had pulled 1.5 CL. Now I've added a JoeZ intake but I haven't taken my car to a dyno though.

Hey Anajri, I'd love to have the exhaust, but due to some technical problem with Carson's website I wasn't able to finish my order and the GB was over. I'll wait for the next one, I just don't want to spend the extra $$$ when I was ready to pay GB price.
Last time I heard from Andy was right before his trip months ago, he wanted to know how my car was doing. I know some people had a bad experience with Andy and MHP, thanks God it wasn't my case because my IS-F is my DD.

Pole Position
This is to repeat information I posted previously.
Peter (houstonT) and I have identical setups on our ISFs. Both have the JoeZ exhaust and intake. MHP susposedly tuned my ECM/TCM.
Peter and I dyno'd our cars on the same DynoJet at Advanced Racing Dynamics here in Houston within days of each other. We had almost identical results (right at 380 rwhp).
Several weeks later we both ran our cars at Lone Star in Sealy, Tex at the TX2k9 event. His best time was about 12.52, mine was about 12.67. My top speed was about 114.86 and his was a little over 113 mph.
So, essentially everything is identical except that I paid significant $ to Andy to have my ECM modified which I do not believe happened. He has recently contacted me claiming that he (and I) was "hoodwinked" by Dave Kasper who was susposedly doing the actual tuning. That Dave was probably "windmilling" the ECUs i.e. receiving them, doing nothing and sending them back without actually modifying them.
My son's Toyota Tundra was the "test mule" similar to Juan's. We sent Mike's ECU/TCU module to Dave in late January and still have not received it back. I finally bought Mike a new ECU/TCU so that he could get his truck back operational. That cost me about $1,000.
We will see what we see.

This is not true at all. MHP did not prove anything. I can think of atleast two members who bought this ECU/TCU upgrade with absolutely nothing to show for it. Not trying to divert this thread, but I don't think that MHP should be an option when considering tuning the ISF.

Sometimes I hate when I'm right.
LOL I was 99.9% sure you were right too. When I became 100% certain about it was when MHP contacted me with huge discounts to run their "tune".
