Apples and oranges and that system was what , 7 years ago? The engine you are referring to had ~380 Hp, not 400 and also required an exhaust upgrade that added almost 2k to the cost. I can guarantee that engine was not nearly as complex as the one in the RCF and the ecu will have nowhere near the detailed fuel and ignition maps and I am also sure that the fuel delivery system in the RCF is a bit more complex.

I stand by my earlier claims in regards to pricing of a S/C kit for this car if/when it comes available.

But it is a moot point...Lexus will never make it...

The ECU has been cracked therefore adding a supercharger or a turbo should be easy part.

The RCF ECU has not been cracked...

Both RRR and TTFS opened the RCF ECU to see that it indeed housed a different processor which may not be applicable to their system.

I know this because I've paid in full before they knew IF* they could do it... and now I wait

This. You should've waited to see if they could tuned my car first before you sent it out...lol.

Mr. Kidd we contacted you as soon as we had our first RCF ECU in our shop to keep you in the loop and inform you not to send your ECU yet. As we discussed we will honor the price for you anytime you like. Please contact us if you changed your mind.

OK, So WHERE are we AT Now? Yay or Nay? I know everybody's Sick of hearing it, but ALL I Want is a TUNE (a REAL Tune, not something like the Apexi Controller, I already have that but a Tune that Completely TRANSFORMS the RCF) PM me IF you have the Answer

The ECU is cracked - RR Racing has it in the works - They have the initial tune for the RCF which does improve torque through the mid range and the vehicle feels more responsive (it also eliminates the CEL for headers). It is a slow process because the ECU is much more complex then the IS F ECU. A lot of progress should be made in the next couple of months including the SC for the RC F (IS F kit is now available).

Here you go, I had the tune done a couple weeks ago, let me know if you notice a difference.

To be honest it's really hard to determine a difference just by watching a video.. I'm now debating the tune but will get my breathing mods done first..
Any new info on the sc and or independent dynos with this tune?

don't even look into this mediocre tune until you get all of your bolt ons first. RCF500 is a FBO'd RC-F

Yep best bet is to get all the bolt ons first and then the tune, the tune optimizes the mid range on RPM band. Or you can just wait for the supercharger to come out, maybe within 3-4 months

Anyone know what software or Tuner is being used to tune the RCF?

Right now I believe the only option is a PCM swap. RRR is working with an Italian company in developing a hand-held tuner that uses the OBD-II port. The IS F hand-held is on the market with the RC F soon to follow.
