[Supras] injectors to pass NJ emissions

[t72pwrd]

Hi Bernie,

I don't think you'll have problems passing with a lex/550 setup.  Ohio HAD 
(note past tense) a similar chasiss dyno E check and I passed with no 
problem.  Only had one cat (I used to hate putting it on once every 2 years) 
and was using RC injectors.  Anecdotal evidence, but many others had the 
same experience.

I did get fed up with the Lexus and ditched it in favor of speed density 
(VPC) die to fuel cut on an upgraded turbo.  At the time, the VPC was the 
only option.  For a modestly to highly modded car, I'd recommend a MAFT-PRO 
now.  I'm going with the AEM on my current build.
