Possible ECU Remapping for IS250/350?

I can probably try a different place for the longer term dyno test. Lol, costs are sure adding up though XD.
Gonna go update my original post above now with more detailed info.
I've no idea how this concept of being sort of on track 3 all the time works. From a programmer's perspective, unless this thing is modifying a universal variable that are the same on each PCM (assuming it's doing that), for example, setting this "track 3" to true for each PCM. The ISF may be using a different variable, or maybe it doesn't even have that variable and hence why nothing changed. Or it simply could have just relearned itself as stated.

I bought this on Black Friday (after a few beers) and said "screw it, I'll try it"
It still hasn't arrived, but after reading the threads, I'm extremely skeptical now.
I only have an Injen intake and Greddy SP Elite axel back. I doubt I'll be able to get the "claimed" 20 or so hp/ tq
I live in Riverside, SoCal. I know of nowhere to start as far as proving or disproving these claims of Vivid Racing and the VRT-TOY006 ecu flash auto tune
Has anyone else bought this and want to share? Also can anyone point me where to go in SoCal to independently dyno before and after. Just because I have a lexus doesn't mean I'm loaded since I'm in college. Putting this thing on my credit card was a bad idea from the start -_-

^Do you have an IS350? That seems to be the only platform showing any real gains.
Everyone needs to keep in mind that Mustang dynos for a long time have been known for giving high readings/results. But the positive out of all of this is that gains were had regardless AND the post-installation results were very similar. Just wish the graphs were actually legible. Those graphs are about the worst I've seen!
We all appreciate those posting their before and after result with these things though!

No one had taken the plunge to offer independent dyno results, aside from the ISF person, for which I already had my module on order while waiting :/
But this is the internet and I can't do anything about trust, I'll just continue to do what I can for the community. But I do understand all of the skepticism though, I myself would have came to the same conclusion.
On another note, I've uploaded a better contrasting graph on my original post to help with readability.

I figured that would be the thought process when I first offered to do this.

POTENTIAL ecu mods?
Hey guys,
I recently posted a question on the general forum of clublexus discussing the presence of toyota police cars--- and their potentially modified ecu's (since police cars tend to be modified)(including ecu)..
This would apply to Lexus' as well, as it is currently believed that we cannot "chip our cars" for increased performance/ power..
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/car...ml#post8817049
Please take a look, some insight would be great, and there is more exposure on the general forums to get some opinions and potential solutions for our ecu mapping discussion.
Thanks!

So, just because I don't have as many post as you and I bought my IS this year, I'm less privileged than you to seek information about making my car possibly better? Dude, what makes you better than me to talk down like that? I'm here hoping someone can share what they know beyond the searches I've been doing. Sorry I'm not a "veteran" and my posts for my 08 is250 on this forum aren't as much as my other forum for my IS300 where I'm over 800. But somehow that makes me "better" than all the newbies on that forum as well right?
