MAP-ECU used over stock ECU.

It would require some hardcore tuning and good standalone engine management system to run anywhere close to 350rwhp on stock compression.

Thanks, guys.
My next steps:
1. Repair of main brake cil.
2. Shadowing of windows.
3. 19" light weight rims
4. Front big brake kit (BREMBO or ROTORA).

Wow, that's awesome. Yeah, Sam @ Mahdavi did my NA-T build. He asked if he could borrow my car for a bit to replicate the kit for a customer in Russia. Well, good to hear your car is up and running. Keep us updated on the progress of your car, and welcome to Club Lexus!!!!!

Yeah, I saw the Map ECU I just wanted him to verify it because I was also confused.
According to my research we are good up to 10psi on stock compression with a good tune. I know we were told not to go over 7 or 8 psi with out a Head gasket change but for some reason we are able to push it a little more on the GS300. I wouldn't do it but I have seen it done, and the car was very responsive.
Later, Jose
