I have installed PPE headers on my 98 GS400. I wanted to install some performance cam shafts, and an SRT intake. My question is, should I go with the SRT or another cold air and find an ECU that can be tuned on a dyno?? And if so, do yall know of any ECU's out there that will get the job done and let the tuner really zero in and crank out some power? I want to do this right and cant seem to find anyone in Houston with solid answers for me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated guys!!

Sure, lets not believe the genius that told you it could be dyno tuned in the first place ha ha.
And just because I can I'm going to, use the search function:

SAFC/ Apexi NEO are going to be your two choices if you choose to not go SRT.

The SAFC as been a great unit for a long time now and there is alot of tuning information on the web. And it's very likely most shops with a dyno will be familiar with the SAFC already..
The Apexi popular as well, and if you want to spend a little more money but get more flexibility you can step up to an AEM FIC or a MapEcu2/3..

the srt cold air intake comes with an ecu that "piggybacks" into the oem ecu...when i called srt, they didnt have mine in stock but he built one in about 2 weeks...promised 30hp increase...btw...the lexus factory ecu's will tune themselves at least in the gs's that have vvti
