Does the company that did the work have dynos posted somewhere? Didn't see any on their website.
Reason I ask is that it seems like such a definitive number "+40 hp, +70 tqe (30 wheel hp, 50 wheel tqe)" that there has to be some detailed dyno before/after to back that sort of claim up somewhere.
Don't get me wrong, not doubting the improvement or anything and I think it's great that there is what sounds like a great option for some easy HP! Would be interested in something similar for my GS; manufacturers claims of high HP increases don't usually seem to hold out on the dyno for our cars, however. Probably not as much room for improvement in efficency.

Looks like a pretty good increase across the board. Would like to see a 'normal' dyno single gear HP and TQ pull rather than shifting, but both are useful. Looks promising!

Does this upgrade also advance the timing? if so, how much?
Only reason I'm asking is because I want to add a 75 shot of nitrous and I can't do it with the ECU I'm running now. Too much timing adavance = me looking for a new 1uz.

And Legend, remember I think the 97+ SC's are OBD-II, that may play a part in the ECU tuning not being available

Its all good, The thing with it is, after first reseting the computer and then calibrating it after running 0-100 full throttle 3 times, it has insane power... It thrills me greatly for the first few days but after a while it seems to fade a little. Im thinking when i take it to the track I'll run the 1/4 mile like 5 or 6 times and reset my computer before the first times in the hope that the power increase will stay with the ecu permanently.
