Yes they tailored the car to the clientele. In the Lexus world making HP is going to cost you.

can you tell us more about the fuel dampening bypass and eliminating the charcoal canister? I assume taking both these off doesnt help with HP, just to clean up the engine bay, right? And i was under the impression we needed those things? i most certainly do not know, so maybe you can explain. thanks

1)Throttle Body coolant bypass
2)BFI with a K&N filter
3)remove MAF screen
4)pulled screw out of lower tunnel on MAF and epoxied hole on side closed
5)remove resonators before rear mufflers
