That sounds about right. I paid around that.

I had my 2017 IS300 Fsport tuned a few weeks ago by RR Racing Motorsports as well and it is definitely faster than a stock IS350. Pulls harder from 4200 rpms all the way to 7200... and increased throttle response is also very noticeable.
I also agree with the increase gas milage too! Getting about 2-3 mpgs over the stock ecu map.

The guys at RR Racing are very knowledgable and have an amazing reputation in the Lexus comunity. Their shop is filled with ISF's and RCF's. All well equipped.

You can't compare an Ebay tune module to a professional shop with engineers that tune the car with hours and hours of research and adjustments.

I've driven an IS350 and since i tuned my IS300. It is noticeably much faster. Looking to get the exhaust next but waiting for Ark to release the quad tip for the 2017-18 models...

Ya im convinced on this, i've talked to one of the Tuned and Custom Turbo Engineer today in my Company, he told me Yes it definitely gains some HP and better throttle respond no question asks, but 20HP gains over 306HP we won't feel nothing unless it gains 50HP+ he said, Maybe "michael and Redline" can hook me up their Free Tune lol when we do a spring meet

I’m down for a Toronto meet, but I’ll be bringing our supercharged 3IS. It has Sport+ mode so it’s really fast.
