Hey Ryan, the smaller pulley is being shipped 1st thing tomorrow morning. We miss the deadline for today shipment. Glad you like the ATI blower. I will be installing my kit tomorrow as well and let you know how the numbers compares with yours. Enjoy the new ride...

I believe the S2000 have about the same compression ratio as is350...
about 10.5:1?? i think...
you can only get 7-8psi MAX.. on s2000 so guessin it'll be about the same for our lexus...

the vortech s2000 s/c costs bout 6K... so expecting somewhere around their for the is350??

Stock, it's 5-6si, then there's a smaller pulley for 7psi, but if you get the 9psi pulley, it's recommended you get the AEM standalone, and bigger injectors. The stock pulley WHP in that car would only be in the 40hp range, but with 7psi you should be at about 300whp.

But back on subject. Depending on your baseline, like a previous person mentioned, 28hp increase is not that much for the intitial investment. Are stock IS350s really varying that much from car to car on horsepower?

Give it time though, the IS350 is still relatively new, but with it's popularity boost should become more widely available, with people working to really find the best overall setup. Hopefully by the time I buy one

Yeah I saw that guys S/C at the JM Lexus Meet. The guy only uses his car for the track. He has all of the back seats and the passenger seat taken out plus he has not trunk. He was doing 13.1 @ 1/4 and that was before the S/C. He said he was doing about the same with the S/C. I know it doesn't make any sense. Nice to see who the second person the buy the S/C for the IS. Have Fun.

It's more like 50-60whp gain. And stock 265whp? Post that dyno up.

I'll wait to post judgement until I see a dyno with the right pulley. Regarding LMS's claim that the baseline was 250 rwhp, why didn't they put that on the dyno plot? Are you sure the baseline wasn't really 265, and they are just saying it was 250 to make you feel better about the kit?

I would expect this setup to be MUCH more powerful, considering that S2000s are getting nearly 50% more power at 7 PSI.
