here are results on Y2KGS's Page.

GS400:

http://www.mindspring.com/~slgs4/GS400.htm

GS300:

http://www.mindspring.com/~slgs4/GS300.htm

IS300:

http://www.mindspring.com/~slgs4/IS300.htm

i am very impressed they said they would make a GS300 kit and they did in only 3 days! this is very impressive because they do what they say, and they dont say anything unless its for real. Something i like to see in a tuner.

I know this will probobly be flamed but i am the middle man. If you have problems i'm sorry but these are dyno graphs, even an Air Fuel ratio dyno which proves they are almost at the perfect amount for GS3 for most of the time.

Thanks Sasha for the quick post.. Just got Y2KGS's email but you beat me to it.. 1G is still alot of money but I am gonna get it when I save up a bit and maybe he can get us a bit of a price reduction with a group buy.. Anyone interested just PM me and maybe we can get something going with Weapon R..

$1000 is MSRP price, you need to call them to make sure what is the price for clublexus member hee hee
who pay msrp? not me

don't forget, SRT intake was $995 or something when they just came out.

I wonder if I still need to remove my engine cover if I switch to Weapon R. Also how come there is no heat shield? Unless Weapon R is willing to give us a heck of a deal, I will go with Weapon R/APEXi S-AFC.

In y2kgs's dyno charts, he has max 238.9 rwhp for stock (at the dyno stock v.s. SRT). However, he claimed at the beginning that "GS400 with Weapon R intake & cold air ram 235.4HP & 258.6TQ". Does that mean it lose 3.5 rwhp with weapon R intake and cold air ram?

Please clear this up.

heres your answer:

In the tread> Final Weapon-R Intake Results. RacingAristo has asked about the dyno with just the Weapon-R intake. If you can please post this for me. If the intake we are using now, we did lose some HP but gain 8.9TQ. We did gain about 7HP with the other intake (dragon) but none on TQ which matter a lot more than gaining 7HP. Performance wise we found that having more TQ on the GS feels much better than having 7HP. That was the reason why we changed the filters for the GS and IS. If you think about it having just the WR intake might perform better than the SRT ECU system. anyways, just want to answer his question.

Now I'm confused. I want to gain more hp but more importantly more torque. Which intake do I need to use? Please help because I am totally lost now.

Sasha you are more of an expert on this so maybe you can give me your thoughts if you think there is enough room to add the Cold Air Ram on the GS4 to the V2 filter and Weapon R intake..

On the GS3 looks like there is diffently enough room to make that happen.. Were is the ducting gonna go on your GS??

yea there is, i know Y2KGS piped his down to the foglights or something (dont know how he did that) or you can make a u turn with the stuff and bring it to the stock air thing from the Grill. i dont think it would be very effective because of the U-turn though.... try to go down to the foglight.
