update (via instagram): 2 beta testers were to receive their "power managers" shipped to them 2 days ago. Apparently results and impressions should be available to the public soon.
As soon as these are up, theywill begin releasing the 350 version, followed by the 250 version shortly after..... provided there are no issues or poor results from testing / dynoing.
From what I've seen they still have not released dyno numbers to the public

I talked to them on tues they said that they did ship them out to beta testers and they were hoping for a june or july launch to the public if all the testing and dyno results looked good.

Oh man I hope this is the real deal. Even if the gains are small I still want it lol. It truly would be great if the IS can be tuned, and I'm sure they know they can make quite a good bit of money out of this.

I spoke to them today. They aren't releasing numbers and claimed the car needs a 100 miles for the final results to take place. Likewise, all the beta testers are " supposed " to dyno their cars and they haven't to date.

I have a 3G IS350 F AWD. They have a 250 and rc350 in house and have claimed no issues.

When speaking to them about how it feels he said the piggyback is fully tunable and comes with software for manual manipulation. The hp and tq curves are stock like. Meaning mirror the stock curve but gained more power ( think a mirrored high low curve on the graph ). I'm sold on the aspect that we can our cars to a local tuner for more should we want to. This looks to be a real tune. Price is 699 or 799. I can't remember. But beta tester have yet to report results. I think I'll wait a week or two before I pull the trigger on this. But already have a local 4 wheel dyno ready. If I gain 10hp with intake and exhaust I'll be happy.

Looks like header might be in the near future for me. I'm really worried about sound on that aspect. I like my full joe z cat back and Tekdata now. It's loud at wot and 2 12's keep me from hearing drone.

Looking forward to reading more about this for sure! If my tuner can tune my 350, shoot...sign me up!

Sounds like they're doing more research on true guinea pigs than Vivid claims too have.

I support Road Race, ever since my Mitsu days; gotta appreciate their efforts here to open this up to a truly untapped market.
