Default 98' GS300 Owner New Here And Looking For Some Suggestions

I have a 98' GS300 and Im looking to get a little more power out of it. First I have to say Im not new to modifying cars, I have a 400whp Eclipse GST that I built from the ground up and the GS300 is my daily so Im trying to get around 250 to 275whp. Im really not trying to spend a fortune but I want it done right. I recently replaced the timing belt, water pump and the car is in excellent shape. What do you guys suggest and where should I get my parts? The Supra has always been one of my dream cars and maybe in the future I can make this my 4 door version of it but for now 250whp is my goal. lol
Thanks,
Marcus

That's not going to get him to 250 whp. You're either going to need boost or like someone else already said get a 400 or 430.

****-adkt is somewhat right. Sell it, get a GS400 and start from there. Better gas mileage, faster and you can achieve what you want.

Your asking to beat a dead horse, 3 of the replies ALREADY stated "sell it get a 400 or 430".

You need to BOOST if your gonna get power, boltons wont get you far.

marcman, NA-T would be your best bet, although you'll want more once you reach your power goal. I've seen it many a time.
