WOW! Just spent an hour on the phone with Bob Norwood. Look him up if you havent heard of his work. He had a million answers for me on this car.
*6psi
*runs constant 11.80 @ 125
*more power is there but made knock sensors go crazy and just spun the tires
*occasional CEL due to the MAF voltage exceeding threshold, or the crank out spinning the cranks sensor threshold
*These are supposed be controlled by split second ECU system, but toyota ECU is sometimes faster than "Split Second"
*He thinks this could be worked out with split second
*Car made max power at 5500rpm and right at 450 whp
*Has been around 13 laps @ MSR Creeson and didnt over heat
*He said the car was idiot and bulletproof as long as you didnt change a thing![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
*Boost was turned to 8 and 12lbs, but that sacrificed driveability and he says it runs best where it is now.
*This was his PERSONAL car for about 15,000 miles and he is very confident in it.
*Has and extra fuel pump in tank the MOTEC controls, and has custom built rails under the engine cover
I just dont know if its worth the money for not much more power than I can make with bolt ons..
The power is there but the car isnt happy making any more.

Still.. a 100whp gain for $40k+? Any way you look at it, it's still a ridiculous waste of money and not surprising that it's up for sale.

Seriously - look up Norwood's accomplishments. That guy lives the real performance guy's dream every day.
