TMR IS300, SupraStore.com says that the Unorthadox Pully set gives u a HP gain of 14-18rwhp. but then they also say that the crank pully is the only thing that is making all the power. Is this true or did i just take it the wrong way? If it is true then y spend money on the set then just the crank Pully?

i have a 01 IS...and have ran a 15.2 multiple times with the SRT HFI and HKS Hiper exhaust.. if i had shifted with the "stick" and if i hadn't stiffened up the dampening in the rear...i could have been even quicker... im guestimating a 14.8 or 14.9....

FYI I was just watching the channel Speedvision and it was doing a special on the new IS300 5speed and sportscross. ANd for the stock 5speed it said the 0-60 is 6.7 and its 1/4 mile was 15.1 sec.

hey you also have to remember all tracks are different. Some tracks are above sea level and some are below. Plus you have to see it the track is at a incline or decline. These things make a big difference.

It shifts at higher rpms, which in effect puts more power to ground..

I think
