This is so cool. After waiting a year and a half the SC400 will actually get the power it deserves. I've used up all my car mod money this year but I'll be on this bandwagon next year for sure.

BTW - put me down for a set of those cams. I might be able the live without food for a couple of weeks and get them.

Patience, the pics will all come. I recommend to all of you that if you have not fabbedd the BFI in your car, to do this first. You will need the better breathing. If you do the BFI right, you will gain as much as 15 to 20 HP. Use a K&N filter/charger, works much better with the BFI. I noticed little difference with my non-BFI set-up. After the BFI, wow!!

I will get all of the pics and the instructions to Lextreme this weekend. Look to his site and make it happen. My BFI follows Peter Scott's closely, but I think my Ballistic Bellmouths are better. They are larger, and will breathe better!!

Glad to hear it - it would be ashame to put all that under the hood without the car looking great inside and out. Looking to the pics and the complete lighting combo Brian is doing for you. I have been contemplating the same blue scheme you are doing.

Good Luck!

Default Crane Cams

Aldstadt: Who are you working with at Crane? Perhaps a group buy could occur for those performance cams?

Anyone else have interest?

I am in direct contact with the R&D department. A group guy will be fine, but I will need a commitment for 20-25 sets of cams. They will not normally make less than 40 sets per run. Big Bucks. I would need the money up-front because I will not get stuck with them if people bail. We can set up the account at Crane, so everybody can send the money there, and not feel uncomfortable with sending the money direct to me. Even though I am not a thief, you guys do not really know me yet, so I thaink that would be the best way to go. First, let's get the dynos done for the cams. Then let's look at it.

Ryan, that is cool, but please remember that to do a Group Buy, we will have to set it up through a vendor.

Group Buys are allowed, but they must be done in conjunction with a ClubLexus authorized vendor. You can check the authorized vendor list located here.
For direct assistance, email advertising@clublexus.com

Thank you sir

Thanks, I am the Vendor- RYA Performance. Crane will make the cams for my company. I will be CL approved by then. I will place the order with Crane. They will charge me for 40 sets of cams. That is why I will need pre-orders with cash up front, as I will not be stuck with 40 sets of cams. It should not be a problem. We will take pre-orders from around the world. Credit Card payment will be set-up as well.

I wish you the best of luck. I am not saying the car won't make the power you are suggesting, but I wouldn't keep my hopes too high. Obviously if it does make that kind of power, that is awesome. Please keep us updated.

Sorry guys. I got edited. Did not mean to step on any toes. I will have to refrain from pricing and such until I complete all necessary to become CL approved.
