Well if it makes you feel any better, I've been pushing it hard and it feels like the engine wants more. The AFR at high RPM is around 11:1, which is about the ratio you want it to be at when boosting. Other than the fuel cut issue, which should be resolve by the end of this week, the car runs great!

RCF500 so sick bro! Everything we want our lexus to be!!! Any concerns with reliability and/or engine failure on your end? What made you make the jump and nullify your issues regarding reliability engine and transmission wise? NOT wanting to start any negative questions or trolling just want end user real world input. I would love an RR supercharger myself.

There's always somewhat of a concern when you're playing with forced induction. If you don't take chances in life, will it get you anywhere?

Here's a couple of videos, so much fun! Enjoy!

Thanks! It was a VW R32. Lol I do have gopro footage having him get the jump and you know how the rest goes.


Oh BTW I dynoed the car, it was at 546 whp and 445 wtq, it was very hot and humid in there, about 99 degrees and 75% humidity I believe. Running the same curves, but I have to redyno it again in cooler weather or in a climate controlled dyno facility.
Good news is that my peak boost is at 7.25 PSI so I may ending up making more power than 570 whp!
