20" rims? forget about racin' man. Just to be honest, you are adding at least 15lbs/wheel/tire to your car ==>60lbs x 7=420lbs unsprung weight added, 10-30hp from SAFC is not gonna cut this.
you will need the some kind of force induction, but TC is a pretty good and cheap choice also, not sure if they make one for gs300.
but w 20", you don't need to race, just win them for look.

um...the gs is not a race car...not even close....be happy to get back to origanal performance numbers with the intake and exhaust to make up for the wheels and drive it like the show off car it is, not the race car some people here think it is ??????
(not saying you can't make it fast...but if your not going to super charge or turbo it and buy every suspension mod...it's not really worth it, your just fighting an uphill battle, then throw 20's on it?????)

its a racecar for some one who wants to race...
Its a Sports-Sedan/Sports luxury!....
Why does TeamLexus race they're GS if its not meant 4 racing?
I wanna have it all ... not comparing Races or anything but here it is...
White=luxury
Black=dubz
Asian = ricer
I got em all 3 combined! Got a luxury car with dubz and ricers import performance... Its something different ... you dont see many cars like that on the road in dallas.. i wanted to be different... and thats exactly what i did!!.... and my car is pretty quick for a V6.... and it looks Awsome!
Sorry no Hispanic(spelling?)
lowrider, whire wheels , funni paint jobs, chrome fender coverthingies..... Although there R some nice lowriders with hydros.... i just didnt think "luxury,dubz and ricer " needed to be mixed with hydro's....

Excuse me, are you ignorant or what? You don't even know what kind of engine you have in your car and you want to bring lame stats on other car manufacturer's engines? Try providing Toyota engine stats and tell me what engine the Supra TT has. I am sure you could find a magazine with the info.
