The sale wasn't too good, tech support isn't there. Kit isn't complete and instruction is sucks....That is why they discountinued the kit. The s/c bracket is very nice though.

If it was me I would drive the car like a panzy right to the dyno. You can me overly cautious, I call it being smart. Man O man. There is definately a lack of tunning smarts in the lexus community over the nissan community. I have noticed this from day one. But there are way more retards/forum idots in the nissan community than the lexus community.

Werd, and the headers too. Open up the exhaust side of the engine then watch the thing go even more.

i honestly think i would prefer a road tune over a tune on a dynojet. dynojets dont apply enough of a load to get an accurate tune. if there is a mustang dyno near you, i would go to that dyno before anything.

how much boost are you running with that s/c kit???

Street tune is ghetto? Why is that? After every dyno tune, we always put it on the street to make sure the numbers are correct. Do you drive the car on the street or dyno everyday? Rusty is aware of the dyno tuning, he will get back in the shop soon. Please don't call people retard/idiots!

Im talking about a street tune only is ghetto. I thought I was clear in what I said; "Dont make the mistake of not dyno tunning!!! Street tune is ghetto! Not to dyno at all is a big mistake"

Excuse me if I did not properly explain myself. Retard/idots refered to people who were uncivilized on forums not people who lack tunning knowledge. Simmer down.

i agree with hollywood. i see countless amount of people that put so much money into their engine but cant spend the extra 500-800 to have it dyno tune. then they blow their motor and ask why?

im guessing around 350whp to 400whp. monster sleeper!
