I think for us the bottleneck will be the "tuning" part.......

I for one will be interested in the gains with stock tuning. gawd's car is running way to rich. I think the stock ECU can handle the situation just fine. Sure, additional tuning should make even better results but should not/is not required.

Hey has anyone seen the add that S & S headers has on their web site for Jbrady headers?.
They show them for sell for "1990-2005 Lexus Sedan LS/GS/SC400/430 "
This header being able to fit the 90-05 LS,SC models? Does S&S know this
Is'nt this alittle premature unless S&S did some R&D that we don't know about

Actually yes, this is a bit premature, that said Loren is going on what I told him. We definitely expect the headers to bolt on to the heads and fit in the engine compartment. That is the basis of the covered range. This is like needing to install the first set in the GS400. They were designed primarly for this model but until they were actually installed we could not be certain.

So does this mean all that stuff about buying these before no more runs are produced is out the window?

Cin, I suggest you wait at least 10 years after these parts are produced. That way you can gather enough data about all possible situations to appease your concerns. If after 10 years you have not been convinced, I suggest not purchasing these headers.

Wierd, I thought it was an honest question about the future availablity of the headers?

Is the site bogus?

Well, your in luck because I'll need to dyno to get everything tuned. Have we settled on a good NorCal dyno? Unfortunately it will likely be a mid-winter project so no quick results to report.

I called S&S on Friday. Loren was out of town but Betty said they currently have 30 orders with a couple pending. She said they already ordered 50 sets of flanges and that they would take orders as they come in. Anyone that gets an order in ASAP will still be able to get on the 1st run. Call S&S for details. http://www.ssheaders.com/
