One thing I noticed in your pictures... It seems you have a single-exit track pipe on your car. Did you install a new splitter where the factory muffler was? I have been hearing a lot of complaints from people after they have removed the factory muffler. Since Toyota uses the muffler to direct airflow to the factory splitter, when the muffler is removed it creates an air pocket back there. You may not notice it because of your wing but I'm willing to bet that the turbulence is having a pretty detrimental effect on your aerodynamics over 100mph.

I have a dual invidia exhaust, i need to order a front splitter but first its going to be Oil Cooler, Gauges, Front and Rear splitter, supercharger, and finally KW Clubsports instead of my V3'S. Its really been trial and error seting up this car since there is limited data available so far.
