Default Is anyone running the TTFS tune...?

I know RR is the go-to among the community but being a E46 guy I can't discount Frank Smith's product. Only thing is I've seen maybe at most, two dyno sheets circulating the forums and not a whole lot of user feedback.

If you're running the TTFS tune, please chime in, I'd like to hear first hand impressions. If you can post a dyno sheet along with baseline, altitude, mods and gas octane rating that would even be more helpful.

AFAIK I was probably the only active forum member to my knowledge with this tune. I'm sure there are others but no body bothered to post about it. If you search you'll see my thread if you haven't already. I've since moved to the RR tune since I went FBO and have no complaints. If you didn't notice they've pretty much went dark on the Lexus community.

I did see your thread and comments about the tune, thanks for posting. I also noticed they didn't renew their vendor status :\ kind of a shame.

I have their tune and I'm very happy with it and their customer support as well.
From one of my posts a while back: Tuned by TTFS with their handheld device. No cooling off time between runs other than the 5mins it took to load the tune. The car runs better (quieter) and feels faster as well (proven gains per dyno and not just butt dyno). I believe I was on 91 octane when I did the dyno

Current Mods: hps elbow with oem filter, borla cat back exhaust, rr racing oil&air separator

The day I grab a tune I'll likely go TTFS for the same reasons. Came from the M community and know his work. Great tuner and happy to support.

I saw your thread, thanks for posting! was the 354 horsepower before the tune? that seems a bit low given your mods (elbow, borla).

Well the whole purpose of doing the dyno was just to see if the tune delivered as advertised and to keep the ISF community updated (don't forget the tune was only released recently and everyone was looking for proof on numbers). I'm not concerned with the numbers too much since before I got the tune, I did some pulls with my buddys stock ISF and I always kept pulling on him in every gear. So the gains on the upgrades I did are there but just not as much as some/others claim. TTFS were great tho, I got no complaints. They provide you with a tune based on your own files, not a generic tune.

A set of headers should put you between 410whp to 420whp.

Yes very true. How was the process done? did you extract your software via their OBD tuner and send them the file to tweak it?

Exactly that ... fast and easy.
​​​​​​And I would love headers but I'm a little concern about the fumes / odour.

I just ordered this tune last week and waiting to install it to my IS350 this week. I hope it gives me around 15whp-18whp....
