Default A bit more power

I'm in the market for a little bit more power for my 2016 IS350 AWD and I recently saw an ad on Instagram for a company called d3 performance. Does anyone have this tune/ what's the feedback on it? Reliability? I was going to get the RR Racing tune but this one offered so much more power for the same price. Thanks.

I don't think I've heard anyone mention that particular tuning company on here.
For those wondering, here's a link: https://d3performance.net/index.php/.../ls350-ngauge/

Peak power at ~6K rpm? I see 280hp max. Aren't 350s get 306hp stock?

May need more information on this tune before getting it.

I believe it’s measuring Wheel Horsepower and not from the crank

Interested to get some reliable user feedback on this for the 3IS. Not finding much 3rd party info on them, so yeah they may be a newer company.

From my reading a tune for Lexus vehicles is much more involved than other makes. Seems like I should have seen them mentioned on the forums already if this was a good thing. Not saying it's not, I'm intrigued.

Our long term test vehicle has done great. There have been no issues with the tune. hayesg123 did contact the owner of the car, Ruben. Maybe he can comment more on what Ruben shared with him.
