I responded to your other question. One of the problems I had w/the Area 51 Black Box (I'm not putting the company down) is that I don't recall seeing dyno sheets of their intake or their BB. Consequently, it's hard to tell what the engine does in the power band w/either of their products installed.

This is one of the reasons I haven't gotten a BB yet. I'm waiting for a clearer indication of WHERE the power improvement is and not only "what" the power improvement is.

I hope Area 51 posts this information soon.

Area 51 doesn't have a Dynojet. Their dyno (brand escapes me) only produces tabulature output info, so you'll not see a dyno graph. If you call them up, they can fax it to you.

Since there have been a bit of skeptism of manufacturer dyno numbers, I would recommend finding someone who has the unit and see a Dynojet graph of Area 51 BB.

If it was me, since there are now three companies with piggy back ECUs for the IS300, I would do some research before spending my money. The other two vendors are SRT and Weapon-R.
