Looks like these guys are tuning as well. They promise a lot more flexibility on user tuning parameters they want, but that hasn't been proven yet.

Best of all you could run data logs and forward your info to the tuner for further tweaking

I'm running the TTFS tune.
I bought everything in March 2016, sent my ECU to them. Got it back to see that the O2 sensors weren't disabled. They agreed to send a handheld so I can flash myself. I had a hard time with the handheld at first. DIMsport (manufacturer of the handheld) had to chime in because it was unable to retrieve my dataset.
All in all, I bought in March and my car ran fine for the 1st time on June 27th.
I had a good communication with TTFS but Frank looks to be super busy. I made this choice because he had a very good reputation with BMW and other cars in regards of tuning.
If I had to do it again today, I'll probably choose RR because they are still active with us.
TTFS told me they will come up with a transmission tune but never did.

Frank told me the same thing. He was supposed to come out here to see me and Figs and to help with my high altitude tune stuff but never did. Kinda when I lost faith in Frank since he's one guy and too busy with too many things on his plate and Lexus is at the low end of his priorities.

I came from the M side too, and I stuck to the bigger brands: Dinan or even Turner.. I'd take the other's warnings here. You don't want your car sitting for months, while they scrape together time to diagnose your tune.

No love lost there as RR has taken care of this community quite well

I reached out to OV tuning and it looks like they're releasing dyno graphs on the 18th for the IS F tune.
True.. but even RR has received tough scrutiny and skepticism along the way.
The attached thumbnail you attached says it all, they left the Lexus community.................. and honestly they have no one else to blame but themselves for the customer service they gave some members here who bought their tune then left them high and dry!

Lettuce not forget who told us flash tuning via OBD was high risk and no possible while TTFS had a handheld proven and available.
RR already had a name established, and won the crowd. Can you blame them for not paying needless vendor fees for a tiny profit margin on a forum already biased towards RR. I get the same vibe between PPE and Sikky.
M forums saw the same thing, and even had the admins and mods sand bagging up and coming companies to favor their big name vendors/sponsors.
Its a business and gotta go where the money is. I applaud them for even diving into it seeing as it was a fresh R&D investment for them.

I just purchased the TTFS tune on July 13, 2017. I sent the stock file once I received my OBD Handheld on July 29, 2017 and had no issues.
Frank personally did the file to send to DIMSport on August 1, 2017 and I am now waiting on DIMSport to send it back to TTFS so I can receive it via email from TTFS.
I have FBO's and you can see the specs of my 2008 is350 on my profile page.
I just got my tune on Saturday, August 12, 2017 and installed it. I asked Frank via email what exactly he was able to tune with my request sheet and here is the email Frank sent me with my response and his reply....
QUICKIS:
I have loaded the tuned file and it looked like the handheld flashed it properly.
The note on the file said, “tuned” when I wrote it to the vehicle.
So I assume my stock file would say “stock” on the note, correct?
Can you tell me what you were able to tune?
Transmission response/ throttle mapping?
Air fuel Ratio?
Rev limiter?
The car feels smoother when I shift with revs on powerband.
And with my mods what do you feel are realistic WHP numbers? 15hp, 18hp?
Sincerely,

Hey Tim,
Yes throttle, timing, fuel have all been adjusted, also in maunuel
Mode the rev limit it increased. You should see 15-20 whp
