The V10 model runs 11.50s stock. Most modded ISFs seem to average low 12s.

Correct those V10’s are no joke. Sound amazing as well.

Once again sorry to disappoint all the Lexus ISF doubters. Race was not a random encounter on the highway so I can confirm with 100% certainty it’s the 5.2L V10. Runs were clean and neither one of us jumped. Video posted above.

Trust me when I say it was superb! Truly an amazing sight and amazing sounding and looking R8. I had a feeling it was going to be a good race but never expected us to be dead even the whole time.

Any noticeable difference with the ported TB? I would guess no, unless you had RR custom tune the car to account for the little extra air flow. Interested to hear your feedback.

Hard to say. I did almost all my mods at once so I can’t really tell you what it did I just know I have it bored out to 80mm. I seen RR racing dyno sheet and it showed it gained a bit on top with the RCF TB so I figured even if I get 5hp near redline that works for me. I’ll take any amount as I was chasing the MAX I can get NA even if the gain isn’t cost effective.
