Borelli Motor Sports off Browkaw in SJ. They use a dynojet. Aaron Hibbs tunes there and he tuned for Stillen and built a lot of thier cars. VInce there made a great tune on my Mustang Cobra too. Nice facility too but appointment is a must.

Jared, I did have that 1 dyno experience at a BOS event. I need to find a dyno shop to get a baseline, so I can go back to the same place after my next mod

LOL, supercharger would be great if there was a way to tune it. I've thought about doing headers for a long time, but just not willing to make the car any louder. Plus, I will need to install cats, which I believe will negate a good portion of the hp gained.

I will probably pull the trigger for this ECU from SARD.

It won't be cheap, but I see it as a good fit to what I want for my car. I do plan to keep my ISF for years to come. This should give me good reliable gain with many additional desired features.

Hi Mariano,
Yeah, I'm still in it. Always lurking around to see what's next for my car. Hopefully I'll have the opportunity to meet up with you guys this year.

Hey john, you should ask mr.kim to use his contacts and get you some TRD parts. I'm sure you can get 1200hp with his connections.

Can't wait to see MrKim ISF in person. His IS350 was pretty fast already. I was lucky enough to sit in the passenger seat for a test ride.

Guys lets GTG soon so we all can check out what y'all did over the winter. John, in Hayward there's Rob's Machine that has a dyno machine that be able to help you. I'm taking my 72 Celica there soon for a dyno. Hopefully my Celica can compete with MrKim's ISF, jk MrKim. I have TRD stuff in my Celica but my hook up was like 40 yrs ago before u were born . Need your current hook up MrKim.
