Tuning will be at DB Performance, where I always go for tuning (see dyno vids in my sig). Shane is the best tuner in the Twin Cities metro area as far as I'm concerned and the only one I trust to handover the laptop to. Dyno appointment had to be rescheduled due to the shop being busier than expected. Hoping for later this week or early next week. There's plenty of other dynes around here, but this is one thing I will wait for the best rather than settle for somewhere else.

Dyno tentatively set for tomorrow. Got my fingers crossed. In the mean time I've been doing some misc stuff.
Tinted the front markers with Night Shades and Clear. Also I used a dremel to remove the cross webbing in the 'mouth' of the front bumper. Removed the Lexus logo. And mounted the Wise front lip

Couple more shots of the engine bay mostly finished up. Was having trouble finding a TB cable that worked nicely. TT was too short, Camry one had wrong pedal linkage. Ended up using a Lokar 36" cable for an LS1, worked great! So had to push off dyno to Monday. So anxious!

Hit a pretty bad snag today. Oil started leaking pretty severely from the back of the motor where the trans bolts up. Talking several ounces on the floor after idling for say 5-10 minutes. Pretty bummed about it. I can't tell if it's oil or trans fluid but I think it's oil. So guessing my rear main failed and is pushing out a fairly large amount of pressurized oil. So gotta get the trans off which isn't that easy considering we have a newborn and I'm not able to spend a lot of time on this

Oil leak fixed I think (valve cover gaskets).
Couple updated pics, it's officially been Frankenstein'd, how many colors can you count haha! All lips and everything mounted with the exception of the rear which I'm going to let the body shop do I think. All badges removed. All lights removed for paint. Right now plan is finish rolling the fenders, then deliver the car to the body guy next weekend for paint. Pretty happy with how the Accord spoiler turned out too.
