Vishnu products for the IS-F? 25hp gains
Found this post by Shiv on the bimmer forums and was kinda shocked. Didn't know he was working with the IS-Fs.

We've actually installed and tuned a PROcede on a IS-F a few weeks ago. Stock, the car made 340whp. With an intake and PROcede, it made 365whp. All on 91oct which is in the ballbark of a tuned 335. The big advantage of the IS-F, as I see it, comes from the 7 speed automatic transmission. It shifts *fast*. Nearly as fast as a DSG. Plus the short gearing makes for a car that uses every single one of its last lb-ft of torque to accelerate. So yeah, it will be a driver's race."

The big advantage of the IS-F, as I see it, comes from the 8 speed automatic transmission. It shifts *faster*. Nearly as twice as fast as a DSG. Plus the short gearing makes for a car that uses every single one of its last lb-ft of torque to accelerate. So yeah, it will be a driver's race."

Hmm those numbers sound kind of hard to believe. Well I hope Vishnu continues R&D on the IS-F. Was that on bimmerpost.com? James can you provide a link?

Vishnu makes great stuff. Im glad to hear the IS-F will be getting some serious mods soon. They'll prally charge $2000 bucks for it though hehe. but whoever buys an IS-F should be able to pay for these expensive mods.

I heard Vishnu was doing R&D quite a while back. Im assuming its just a chip to lean the engine up like some other guys said. Either way. This is one Lexus that is demanding some attention and it is nice.
