Made dyno appt...Can't wait!
I made my dyno appointment for this Saturday @ 11am (No Limit Motorsports on Long Island). They are going to hook up and tune my Apexi Neo and do before and after dyno runs. They quoted me $250...probably a bit too much but I have had this damn thing sitting in my ashtray now for the last 3 months.
I'll let you guys know how it turns out and will post up dyno sheets!

I know, I got to get on it. I always begin new projects without finishing others 
It will eventually be installed

I'm hoping to get up to those numbers but if not I will still be happy with results because I am still bound to gain around 15whp (~20@the crank) on the Neo tune by itself; hopefully I can feel the difference! Not looking to make my ride into a sports car just give it a little more guts! lol.
***A question for you guys. Last Sunday I cleaned my TB, K&N filter, intake pipe and re-routed my intake back down into the wheel well (my previous setup). I did all this while the negative battery was disconnected...say maybe 1 hour..?? I did this as preperation for my upcoming dyno tune.
Anyway, just last night (Tuesday) driving home from work the check engine light popped on my dash. I KNOW (I am 99.99% sure) that it's throwing a lean engine code; it ALWAYS did this with the intake "re-routed" like I have it now. Is this because the ECU cannot regulate the larger amount of air coming into the intake? I simply added a 3.5" 90 degree bend from the regular intake location and dropped it down into the wheel well behind the passenger fog light so it's pretty much close to the opening to the inside of the foglight (I took out that plastic piece for a more ram air effect). So if this theory is correct will tuning the Apexi Neo on Saturday get rid of this lean engine code (i.e. will they be able to guestimate the increased air coming in from this intake setup)?
Also, after the Neo gets tuned, what happens if I am...say...looking to service (clean) my MAF sensor and need to disconnect the negative battery terminal again? Will I lose the tune on the Neo?
Thanks again guys...your a huge help!

Lexus is very sensitive to any changes made to the intake, you may/should be able to get rid of that code with tuning. The reason the SRT intake makes so much power and doesn't throw a code is because it address the issue your having with fuel correction like you are doing with the afc.
You will want to reset the computer and get rid of the CEL before you start tuning though. You won't lose your settings when you disconnect the battery once the Afc is tuned.
