Your beautiful year-round driving weather is incentive enough!

1. How is the Direct Injection with sub-injectors working out and how are you controlling them for additional fuel?
Are you going with the idea of...Let the primaries do their thing and let's just control the sub-injectors for additional fuel?
Any idea why there are even sub-injectors there? Why not just put bigger primaries in the first place?
2. Back to the 1st gen IS300, in your opinion, what do you think the bottleneck of the car was? Throttle body? Camshaft specs? Flowrate of the head?
3. I heard somewhere that BMW uses some reflective sound muffling technology in their M3 exhaust systems....so that in stock form the M3 exhaust system flows something insane like 1100 cfm. Are you or have you looked into something like this?
4. What sort of management system are you using to control the car? Are you modifying the stock ECU?
5. What sort of information does Lexus provide for you? Other than giving you cars, is Lexus making some sort of knowledgebase available so that you don't have to reverse engineer parts of the car in order to finger out what it is doing. (maybe an engineer's cell phone # and a hot japanese translator)

Sorry but I cannot answer the first question. But in regards to number 2 I the real bottleneck was throttle body.
Lets just say that the way these cars will be setup, we won't need sound muffling.
Lexus is providing us with specs on a lot of parts, but we are creating some of our own as well.
Oh and I love the body kit. I have one just like it.

The body kit is old. I decided to go back to a more conservative look...and just boost the car to all hell instead.

The body kit on the car looks amazing by the way! I especially like the flared wheelwell arches.

I especially like the flared wheelwell arches.I blew .18psi
If you say, on an average tune you can make 10rwhp per psi...and I made .18psi
then I can make 1.8rwhp by blowing my car.
I am the next Vornado.
