It is a great Xmas gift, but sadly a bit above the spending limit this year...times are tough.
I wonder why their site doesn't reference the LC but does offer for the LX? Seems strange that this doesn't fit into the LC, but maybe it's just an omission typo or something.

It does fit the LC, and i had many long discussions with them before going with Sparks. having said that, i still have the unresolved issue of the codes
reason i went with sparks was that the SC kit is TRD and not a kit made from different manufacturers like Hennessy. knowing i was shipping the truck to Europe, i figured that if there were any issues, they would be handled by Sparks (Toyota) dealer/service whereas Hennessy is 100% independent tuner.
i'm having serious issues with codes being thrown 2-3 times/day and at a total loss

Spoke with Hennessy and they are using TRD blowers, adding injectors, intercooler and a tune. 5yr/40k warranty.
My truck started throwing rich right and left bank codes several weeks ago. I didn't have any issues for the first year plus that the supercharger was installed. I have had my friends at the local Toyota dealership in Boise, ID check everything a few times. Everything looks acceptable except the fuel trim. I have been in contact with Sparks and they told me Jamie is working with Unichip to resolve the issues. Just strange that everything was fine for a year and suddenly there are issues. The Unichip Hq appears to be in Portland, OR which is only 6.5 hrs away. I'll drive over if Unichip agrees to help.
Regarding Hennessy based on comments from friends in the Viper and H1 Hummer communities I would be cautious. Do your own research and find pictures of the quality of the installs.

isn't your issue with the headers/O2 sensor?
Jack at UNICHIP has already sent me a replacement unit, however in the end still throwing codes, which tells me it's NOT the UNICHIP. entire scenario is frustrating at best.

No.
I've got the same codes as you and it's not the o2 censor.

That's an understatement. I feel like I have a 100k paperweight. Except this paperweight kicks you in the nuts every once in a while for fun.
Or maybe like dating a Victoria secret model that won't have sex but still walks around all day looking like a sultry vixen.
they told me you were throwing codes due to headers.....time to find a new "chip".......maybe use the Hennessy tune????
regardless, this is not sustainable, nor what was described in the sales pitch. will send you a pm in order to not bore others with our rants about this. we can update the post once we've solved the issue
Our issue is identical as we've had identical work done, although i've now realised that the fuel pump should have been changed when the kit was installed, and i don't believe mine was changed. i am waiting for some more feedback and will update further
At first glance, I did not realize that the speedo was in KPH, I thought it was MPH. I was going DAMN!!!
when you say turned off, you mean came out of "limp" mode on its own?
