I believe the most anyone has shot on the IS350 is HKS350 with a 75 (maybe an 85) shot. I would be curious to see what happens.

IIRC he ran a 65 shot on pump gas, an 85 shot on race gas.

I would do some homework on this. It sounds harder than it seems.

I ran a NOS system on my Accord. I believe it was jetted for a 25 shot since I was still testing it. I didn't have any gauges (air fuel or otherwise) so I didn't have enough information to monitor the status of the engine. And that was a mistake...I spun a main bearing and the lower part of the cylinder chamber was chipped from the cracked rod hitting it.

Granted Toyota engines are sturdier than Hondas but you don't want that kind of headache for your ride. I got the engine back up and running but it was a costly PITA.

^How many miles on that Accord motor?

BTW, coming from a deep Honda background I took some offense to the Toyota>Honda motor comment. LOL! My SOHC 1.6L withstood 400whp on stock sleeves; so you can make anything "sturdy" with the right machine work and internal parts. Oh, and a tune helps too.

yea I was gunna say. I like Toyota engines more than Honda, but gotta give it to them for building up more crazy motors than any other japanese brand out there.

I'm also interested on setups for the GR motors
