Hell yeah!

Being new to the Lexus, are there aftermarket driveshafts and axles available for the RC F? Again, being a Lexus newbie, I would think this would be pushing the limits of the stock drive train.

Impressive! But, would love to see a daily RCF/GSF pull those numbers in the US! Hopefully not wishful thinking?

Hi
i did several runs on this car at the drag strip with no issus. I even pulled a 1.63 60ft with the Drag Radial with no issues at all. I think the drive train and the power train is very stout.

Congrats and well done! Glad to hear the OEM drive train is up to the task.

This car is my daily drive and i have put 10K Miles on it with the Supercharger with Zero issues. In fact we pushed this car so much that i was surprised it did not break.

If your up to it....

I would love to know more about your upgrades? What super charger, how much boost? Stand alone ECU? Factory ECU tuning? Other than the ARH full exhaust what else?
What rear tires, size? I'm curious to know the differences between USA factory models and, models from the middle east. How about more pics & videos?

I'm sure others are as curious as I am

Is that all you have done to the car? Is the arh system outperforming other systems... it's a toss up for me between the borla I have been told borla sounds better.

guys, this can easily be done on a daily RCF.... this car is tuned on race gas with slight pulley upgrade on our SC kit...

We dyno our kit at 550-570whp on PUMP gas. Due to the high compression ratio race gas will yield a significant power increase.

also 18” drag radials are critical to launching this car.

I'm getting more interested in the SC kit and sorry if this has been covered before, but does the ECU need to be sent to you or can the tune be uploaded through the OBD-II port? If it's the latter, I assume we could make minor timing adjustments when using race gas or water/meth injection? Finally, do you support e-mail tunes if we send you our data logs. Thanks.

yes, there is a slight added charge if you want to upload the tune yourself rather than send us the ECU, but other than that we can totally customize the tune for race gas or whatever, but you need to be able to datalog the car for us using laptop/techstream.

We do not charge extra for data log review and tune customization, in fact we encourage our SC customers to send us logs!

we are also working on a complete fuel system upgrade for e85, for release next Spring or early summer.

We tried water/meth injection and it’s no better than adding a good octane booster to 93 pump.
