288WHP on the 3.5L sounds impressive, would you say Toyota's V6 is more of a performance oriented engine in terms of design? could you go more in depth regarding its design? Are the cats part of the manifold with this engine?

@d3Performance : I noticed your tune is specifically for 93 oct. Planning on anything for us 91 oct. only folks?
As for power, I'm just on F-sport intake and cat back. Leaving headers alone for CA smog, but I'd love to do a tune.

How long has this been out?
Have you done any additional runs with exhaust mods and the tune?

Yes, you can easily return to the original stock tune using the nGauge, It takes less than 2 minutes, Additionally, the current tune cannot be read from these ECUs. They also cannot detect that the ECU has been flashed. So if you return it to stock, they will not be able to detect it was ever flashed.

I'm looking forward to hearing some personal reviews of this. I'm just north of Houston and have an IS350 and Tundra so I could use two tunes haha.
Do you have to have the tuner mounted in the car, or can you flash the tune and remove it? Just curious because the IS interior is already compact and crowded. It would be really cool if we could replace the analog clock with it though.

Below is my dynojet graph from last year (293rwhp and 286 ft/lbs). Mods for reference are PPE headers, Megan Racing Midpipes, F-Sport Exhaust/Intake, and RR-Racing ECU tune.
