13.9-14.1, does this sound about right for our cars?

I think the RWD GS350 will faster than the AWD version. Though one would usually think the AWD could get out of the hole faster, I don't think the GS350's have enough low end torque that taking off is that much of a problem.
That Road & Track time seems a little optimistic, but not impossible. Maybe they did it on less than 1/4 tank of gas and had a jockey driving?
A run of the mill GS350 should be able to run a low 14 without too much difficulty.
Good luck and let us know how you do.

OP: Also, wheels size will have some influence. It take a little more effort to get those big wheels going. Does your car have 17", 18", or larger wheels? Some 20" wheels would probably slow you down a bit at the track compared to 17's or 18's.

. Do share your results if you get the standalone/fields piggy back working! I've been very interested in trying out a MS ECU build (I've done it before).

You have run a gs460 on MS? There is a guy on the MS forums who used the tranny controller on the 8 speed. Do you have any wiring diagrams from your previous project?

Ohh no! I've done it on a Miata before... It was definitely a learning experience, I ran it in sync with the O.E. ECU.
I definitely want to get into contact with the guy who did it on the MS forums if you have his info.
I went nuts looking for the info on it, but only one instance I know that one guy's done it on a 3uz, and he put his 3uz on a boat..... Under a decent tune, he got 350HP out of it though. I thought that was pretty darn good for just a basic tune!

Im on stock 18" wheels. Because its my wifes car , not to much modding is going to happen beside wheels and a drop. But when I drive the Gs, can't help notice how the car moves with authority. The highway seems even more noticable , can't tell you how many times I went to go pass a car and I end up passing 3 or 4 and noticing I am already well into tripple digits with out effort. With the power our 350's makes , it feels like a high 13 sec car. Of course feeling and making that actual time is the difference between night and day.
These cars DO feel speedy, I kid you not.... There's times where I pushed down on the pedal, looked back and went.... Whoops, kind of overdid it on the overpass.
