Well......I'm averaging O-60 in 6.6 now. Just thought I'd let you know. Much better than before.

I'm driving Leo's Harrier (RX300) for the next couple of days... he's got my car now. I'll post a dyno sheet asap when I get it back. I don't really know what good a warranty would do you.. if the thing soaked the cylinder walls and killed the motor or something I suppose you'd have a gripe. But that's only gonna hold water with an established performance shop, and even then it's iffy. I kind of doubt the chip will stop working for no apparent reason, it's solid state and they don't generate heat to any great degree.

well I do'nt know anything for our car that you can get for under 1000 that can take off 1 sec. A torque converter comes the closest but that's it.

I agree with Adam, sounds like a good deal to me, even if it took off .4 or .5 tenths, i'd still pay $900 for it, that's 40hp or so.

Yeah, we have to pay to play in a Lexus... It is not fair, but it is the reality...
