TOMs kit running 5.8 lbs of boost WITH an ECU tune
That is very true about my baby.

This is exactly why we pick the same car but not a subi or an evo.
===========
Most of members in NorCal knows my car is actually a wife's car and we hardly ride on this baby. My duty is to keep it clean and bring it to shows, and have fun with local club buds. It is not a car but a garage "queen".
I am a eecs guy so I cannot comment much here. All your 2ISs are better than mine because you can enjoy rolling on it but I only can wash mine. Hmm... I do enjoy washing cars... I mean my cars only.
I hope this Fox kit can be as real as it seems and hopefully it is feasible for everyone to squeez out more on our cars.
One thing to share my pain is I need to replace both serpentine & s/c belts every 3k to 5k miles. That is about $70 in parts and half hour labor...
So again, I am sure all yours are better than mine!!

SEMA was great, got to meet a bunch of fellow Lexus owners and they all HATED the car..hahaha. At any rate, the IS C will be to the shop on Friday the 13th (crossing my fingers it isn't messed up). I'm hoping to take it straight to the track on Friday night and see what she does in the quarter mile against my Twin Turbo IS F. Then, off to the dyno she goes on Saturday if my boy at CBRD Speedfactory can get me in.
Thanks for the update! Remember the video camera lol. Good luck and have fun! Can't wait to see the results!

if this can really bring the HP to 400 +, it be awesome because is350 can go almost as fast as a IS F or m3 NOW !!!

Especially SEMA cars... one blog post lead to many others, stating "405hp" just wanted to clear that up.

That's about double the reported results of the LMS kit at 5 lbs of boost AFAIK... and about 1.7x more rwhp than the TOMs kit running 5.8 lbs of boost WITH an ECU tune adds...which is a bit odd.
but faster than an is-f or m3?...
i'll wait until it gets on a dyno and on a track.
btw, even if it went on a dyno and the numbers are out, you'd have to wait until a retail version of the kit comes out. even then, do YOU have $5k+ for a supercharger kit?

well not neccessary faster than IS-F or M3, just almost as fast is good enough for me. anyways true not much people would have extra 5k for a supercharger then a few more for installation, if that is the SC will even deliver the predicted result. its a dream i would say...well can't wait until saturday for the dyno result!!

well, In dominican Republic where i live, with high taxes, you must be willing to pay around US$ 70,000 for an IS350. For an IS-F you must be willing to pay around US$ 100,000. Soo 5k for a Supercharger that will make the IS350 closer to an ISF, its a good deal!
^^^wow sorry to be you bro!! lolz jk jk... Well i agree with "someboy", if our x50's can keep up with a M3 or IS-f it would be awesome to see the look on their face. btw i have that extra 5K on the side rite now to play with.. HURRY UP FOX!!

Only in a straight line...you're still missing the brakes and suspension. The difference is pretty significant.
Most performance mods need a watch and timed course to demonstrate actual improvement. Few deliver the advertised claims. Many are actually worse than stock. The best performance mods are made to the driver.
