Did you end up going with an SAFC or the AEM EMS??
If you got the SAFC then you can visit Black Traxx in Milpitas. Jay is a genious. If you went with the EMS then I would look into more bigger reputable shops that have years of experience with the 2JZ

We had a dyno meet at the beginning of this summer at Dyno Spot Racing.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...highlight=dyno

They have tuned several member cars with SAFC and E-manage, a couple of FI cars as well.

I plan to have them tune my Supercharged GS400 and the wifes Supercharged IS300, both with E-manage next month.

FYI, After this post, I probably won't be back online until I fly back home from the VIP meet on Sunday.
