Don’t forget the 10-14 business day minimum turnaround time and you get an OTS map.
Everyone is hung up on this turn around thing. It’s about to be winter in the Midwest (where @Mason and I are). Toys go into storage about now.

or @Mason I forget, is the Supra the daily and the C8 the toy?

5000 is pretty steep
I'm going to hold on to my balls for a little bit and see if this price cools off. But if not.. Time to send it.

Note: the $5k doesn't include all the shit you're going to actually need.

Reflex
PI Kit
FlexKit
Ecutek + License
Whatever Jeff Payn charges to tune for mid 9s.

$5k turns your 2021 ECU into a 2020 ECU.

Might just go for the "weight reduction" path for increasing the power-to-weight ratio. $5k can get a laundry list of other mods.
None are useful without the tune. Like I posted above.

Port/Flex/Reflex = $3,000
Trans = $3,500 + core
Payn Tune =$2,000
Unlock = $5,000
Ecutek = $1,000

Nothing there is useful without the tune or unlock. I'm going to keep pushing the JB4 for now, we'll see if the price softens by spring.

so hows does the $2k option differ? Would that option just let you run ecutek and basic bolt ons per say.

I meant more on the line of suspension and handling mods for the time being and re-evaluate if costs go down for a tune.
