just got my GS Tuned at WORKS in San Rafael.
Got 398wHP with 5.7 lbs of boost.
See my post here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=314331
They have previously done a Supercharged IS300 and I will be sending the wifeys Supercharged IS300 over there possibly next month.
Pete is an Awesome Tuner. They primarily do EVO's but a few of us have got him to accept doing Lexus. Not sure if he will continue to do that.
PM me and I'll hook you up with him. Not sure if they will take you if you just call for an appointment.

We had a great Dyno Day mini meet with 15+ cars at DynoSpot before.
A couple people have tried them to Tune an SAFC with moderate improvements, but they are more expert at Tuning Euro cars.
Really no expertise with Lexus.
I also tried to have FullFunction tune my GS. They don't claim to be experts on Lexus either but they have the capability. There are some good people there, but they are so booked that I would have to wait a couple of months.
I believe they would of been able to tune my car, but it would cost me dyno labor hours because my car would of been a guiney pig for them to learn Lexus.
Pete at Works may focus on EVOs , but he was originally an engineer for Dinan and the bottom line is he is Technically Highly skilled. The power he got out of my car with such low boost was awesome.
Can't wait to see what I get if I bump up to 7 - 8 lbs of boost .
Still no Internal engine mods required at that boost level.

Coming here from the Supra community you all know who I'm going to vote for: Bruce Nomura.
Only thing he doesn't have a dyno so you have to pay for dyno time elsewhere.
