Going to be tough hitting 500whp on stock cams through the auto trans without some sort of additional power adder/racegas/timing control (assuming your going single). What are you doing for fuel?

I don't think the Map ECU is going to cut it, I'd do standalone at this point. Good luck on your project!

No one offers a pnp standalone for the GS3 w/2jZ-GTE w/VVTi; unless he goes Hks F-Con Vpro. I too plan to do the same thing into a 2003 GS3 shortly; but I plan to keep it stock twins until they blow.
