This is my first time having a car worthy of putting on a dyno. Fortunately TTFS was having a dyno day yesterday and I was able to go. Was a fantastic experience. The shop is awesome. Their dyno setup is amazing. Climate controlled. Large. Full view from windows. Frank Smith, Z and all the other guys from the shop are great and awesome. Had a great family feeling, felt right at home. The shop was packed, M3s, M5s, Corvettes, Camaros, and all sorts of cars, plus that fried chicken was ridiculous(fat kid). By the time I had left a SRT Challenger had the highest number of the day.
Below is the result of my pulls. Got to stand inside the room and record which was even cooler.
I will be going back for tuning after I do some work on a long list. Experience and the right family feeling of a business goes a long way with me so this was an easy decision.
Dave it was nice to meet you and I am glad you got to see the shop and meet/talk to Frank in person. I really wish there was a larger Lexus turnout but the weather wasn't the best.
Hopefully next time around the weather won't be an issue and we can get more of the Lexus community out here. Regardless we still had a great turnout!
Juan sorry to disappoint you but as far as I know we are back to the drawing board on the stock intake. The one we were expecting should have been here a very long time ago so I am not sure what happened with that. Frank was the one who was in contact so I'm guessing there had to be a miscommunication.
We could easily head over to the dealer and pick up a new intake but it is not a priority for Frank at the moment. With the purchase of the shop ISF, a second ISF ecu for testing, and everything else invested we can wait until we find a second hand one, at least for now.
As you see above for reference you have a bone stock ISF to use as an example on our dyno. Again Frank has so many other items that are priority over the stock intake but we hope to get one just for the fact we can do a bone stock pass on our ISF for a baseline.
What are the numbers with the k&n intake and the stock car that just got dynoed ??? Can you maybe post both graphs side by side?
As you requested below. Note these are two different cars with different mileages and maintenance historys. They both however were dyno'd on the same dyno on a different day. Results look pretty similar. So if you were to assume anything the intake isn't helping us.
