Thank you for the response; look forward to seeing your track results - I'm sure they'll be stout. Do you know the before and after torque output via STAR DAS (that vrus mentions in post #1)?

I'm glad there's finally an update on this... with numerous 55s and at least one 65 that've had this mod for a couple months, it seemed strange that we weren't seeing "this VRP TCU really smokes" threads...

Is your CL65 rear wheel #'s from pump gas and was the 1/4 time with street tires? Your Supra sounds like a freak of nature!
