^Their cost for R&D is quite large, more so than they would forsee making back. Not many people want to put out that much cash and time for sending over your ECU for maybe 40whp. Also since theyre a racing company, they probably decided on the F platform because the obvious performance of the car. Us 2.5L and 3.5L little brothers of the F are probably not worth their time and effort, as they probably arent in it to be a household name in tuning "average" cars. Just my $.02.

Plus I don't understand Lexus sometimes. To go forward with the track proven campaign with the 3IS but not offer any real power options other than the base F-Sport stuff. At least offer a supercharger kid like TRD has done

But they have already tuned the JDM IS350 ECU...

Also Nigel kind of indicated that the ISF is likely the last lexus that SARD will offer an ECU upgrade on. So it looks like the response so far has been underwhelming. Nigel, or anyone else can correct me if I'm wrong. I often am

wouldn't it be cool if someone can talk TRD USA into making a tune on the ecu for is350... since its the only one capable to do one here in north america and 3IS still hav same engine... thats probably gonna be just a dream... or if we can get a big enough list maybe HKS USA or Greddy USA could make one i don't know hahhah

they have like 5+ different ECU part numbers for the 2IS 350, would have to tune every single one, same goes for the GS
I honestly think the price for the ISF ECU flash isnt bad, considering the power gain (even more with mods) and all the software enhancements which doesnt show up on a dyno.
