Nice job, looks like the mods are paying off. Stick some Nitrous on there and break 13!

Ah I love this video. A buddy of mine is buying a is350 this weekend. Im glad to see a modded 400 can still hang with it. When did you notice the IS starting to catch you? Do you have a SAFC?

Add a SAFC or Neo (tune it and get another 15-20whp) and shave off another .1 to that .2!

thats right! but if I don't need the neo for a supercharger and need another type of engine management then I don't want to waste my money now on the neo!

why is it that are cars are rated as a 13.8 or 13.9 1/4 mile stock from the factory but no one can seem to run close to that???? i mean you have a decent amount of bolt ons and your running a low 14 which is very respectable but what i realized is that most gs4's run like a 14.5 from the factory... i know that factory specs are normally from a pro race car driver but these cars are automatic.. so shouldnt we at least be able to come close to these times or are our cars just somewhat ,excuse me for saying it but overrated.... sorry if its a newb question and i dont mean to offend n e one

...yeah, now he has a high stall torque converter and the S&S headers so that IS350 would never catch him. Perhaps if track conditions were better (no headwind like mentioned in the comments of the video) the IS350 wouldn't be able to catch up and/or it would be a great race. Good job again Kevin!
