I have seen videos of K2 mods with ESP intervening to 40. Spin tires at 60, give me a break. (Or check your tires.)

I do agree torque is down after reflash and I would like old performance back, but let's not get ridiculous about where we started from.

Gotta agree with Coalman.... I have K2 and my tires spin/chirp and ESP will intervene. At 60mph my tires won't spin (because of ESP) but the car will definitely break lose and feel like it is hydroplanning. Maybe that is what he is referring to? When ESP is off it is a whole different story. At 60mph in in the right gear, my tires will definitely spin.

BTW -- nice supra DKM. I live in Vegas also and would love to check that Supra out sometime.
