yeah me too, 290-300rwhp with full exhaust/headers/intake/HFC would be fantastic not to mention if there was a way to lean out the mixture with an aftermarket piggy-back

Very exciting news! I haven't read this entire thread - do they address the CEL?

Nice, great news! They make progress pretty quickly. I, too, am tracking them on FB.

As for the CEL, I believe they have addressed the problem, so no problems.

There should be no CEL issues when we put the headers on my car.

We are scheduled to dyno the car in a few weeks before we install the headers and then again after (obviously).

I will try to video the whole thing for you guys though and keep you as updated as possible. When we have everything scheduled, I will let you all know.

We're hoping!!

And we are considering doing a prototype full exhaust to get the most of the entire set-up.. I will keep everyone posted on that as well!

You bought that for your IS, or for your Supra?

Is it capable of working with all the other ECMs in the system?
