A tune would do it but the ECU hasn't been cracked in over 4 years of this car being out. I would just love to get an extra 50-70hp out of this car. Lexus seems to have made it a pain in the *** or its just not worth the R&D for a company to crack it.

What kind of dyno was used? Assuming roughly a 15% loss at the wheels, Lexus was fairly accurate with their published stock HP number, when referenced to the 5th and 6th gear pull. Nice to see the torque slightly elevated.

dynojet. And yeah a good amount of HP is lost in the drivetrain hence the difference compared to OEM crank HP.

Yeah, I actually assumed the car would only make around 400 to the wheels, pre tune. Im just sitting here WAITING for them to post the tuned numbers. I feel strongly about pulling an extra 50-60hp out of the car, at peak RPM, after the tune in stock form. After exhaust, headers, and intake, I think we could add an extra 25-35hp out of that. Im trying to be optimistic here!

Stock 21s with some new color. Should really make the gold calipers shine, once they get done too.

^^^^Is there any indication (markings) as to who the manufacturer of the calipers is?
