Default Ecu dyno run

I just got an email from www.lexussc400.com and they say that they have dyno results for their ECU and it adds 30HP and 50torque supposedly

http://www.lexussc400.com/lexussc400/dyno.htm
its price is $1250 and says its a full upgrade. Worth it?

This might be a stupid question but i dont really know much about ECU's so i'll look like an idiot and ask.

Seeing how the WR ecu is a piggyback unit, and the one they sell at sc400.com is a full ecu upgrade, would it be possible to use both?

I think youd be better off getting the weapon R ecu. Dont need to send yours in, only 850$, and I would be willing to bet that it adds more torque (I know it adds 38 hp, more than the sc400.com ecu)

Each company should put there chips into a stock car and race them

Does anyone around the So.Cal area have a WeaponR ecu and would like to drive down to see us?

We could turn it into an event & have a dyno day! Food, drinks, girls...sounds like a crazy party!

I live in both places.

Also someone should order the simple wiring leads from Weapon-R so it can be soldered into the persons ECU.

I guess we can just transplant ECUs with the WR Piggyback for a bit.
