You should be able to break a low 12 I drive an is350 on a 100 shot and have broken a 12.6 at the 1/4 mile track and yesterday at the 1/8th mile track my car made the best pass it has ever made I hit a 7.91 with a 1.7 60' but from every conversion chart ive seen that is equil to a 12.40

I hope everything works out for you I was talking to tanner foust at an evo vs STI shootout when he had the blue isf from the sema show there and he said the car didnt like nitrous but i cant be sure I know mine loves nitrous

Thanks for the input. Not sure where they got the idea (impression?) that the car doesn't like nitrous or if they have anything to back it up? My car needs to go back for a slight bit more tuning but is otherwise running amazingly. My biggest problem right now is that I am dropped about 2" and my rear tires can't hook up at all in 1st gear. My 60' is normally ~2.2+. I may have to raise it some, find a camber kit, or go for wider rims/tires...

FYI - To all the people asking questions regarding the shot, and additional details - those will be coming shortly (After sunday). The car will be at the 2K9 Lexus North Miami show. Nothing to hide, I promise - just keeping my commitments to other people.

Very nice gains and clean install!!

BTW..You still running the stock exhaust? If so man you'd be at the 500whp mark with an aftermarket one.

*DOH*!!!! Did you see that graph? It's like you're cruising along and BOOM, double the torque at a press of a button!!! I'd be afraid of twisting the axles and shearing the gears off the tranny! Looks like the IS-F likes a little bit of NOS. That's like a 200hp at the crank increase.

Bone stock except for coilovers and the NOS.

Exhaust MIGHT be next. Going to be going back soon to get the nitrous system tuned a bit. I think we're confident we can push 500 to the wheels safely.

Wayy ahead of you. Did that the day after I got it back! Did about 8 runs on the bottles. Unfortunately i'm having some serious traction issues due to my camber (because i'm running about a 2" drop).. i'm uploading the video of the runs to youtube now. It won't be ready 'til tomorrow.

That's the joy of the progressive controller; rather than giving the whole drivetrain a kick in the pants at once; it slowly (relatively speaking) ramps up the nitrous via pulsing the solenoids.

Video finished sooner than expected. It's only in standard quality right now; it's still processing the HD version

Even though your dyno graph looks amazing, I wouldn't be too happy with your times. Running a 12.4-12.5 @ 118 with 175 shot is not good at all, caymandive's runs were better and he was stock! Either you need to work on your drag racing skills or your cars needs more tuning. Keep us posted.

You neglect to note that i'm running a 2" drop and there are no camber adjustments for the IS-F. I'm also running street tires (PS2's) and with the camber i'm sitting on about 3" of rubber in the back. I spin through 1st, 2nd.

He was not "stock".. running drag radials and removing your spare tire is not quite what i'd call stock; he also ran at one of the (known) notoriously fastest tracks in the country. Oh yeah, his run was also done at < 50F, as far as I recall.. if you read my information posted clearly at the beginning of the video, I was running at 83F at nearly 10:30PM. Regarding my "drag racing skills" there's not a whole lot to it in an automatic. My runs were reasonably consistent, but maybe i'm consistently bad...

The car will be going in for a slight retune, but i'm in more need of a camber kit than anything.

Maybe I need to call MHP?
