You're not gonna get ***** out of your GS honestly, it wasn't built to be juiced up in the power department. You can make it look, sound and handle better. But that's pretty much it!

Since there is a supercharger for the is350 wouldn't that be compatible with our 350? And I would do nos but I dont wanna kill my engine that quickly :/ unless a wet shot every now and then is ok?

What makes you think NOS would kill your engine any faster than a super charger?

A properly installed nos kit will be just as safe as any FI. Your only downsides are the power isn't there 100% of the time, and the cost of refilling

I'm going to keep posting this until you show something that disproves it, specifically on the 69-7802 for the GS.

http://www.knfilters.com/dynocharts/69-8702_dyno.pdf

"3. What increase in horsepower should I expect from a K&N air intake system?

K&N makes several different types and configurations of performance air intake systems. Depending on the year, make, and model of your vehicle, only one style of intake system may be available for that vehicle. All of our intake systems are dyno-tested and guaranteed to increase your vehicle's horsepower. Instead of making a general claim, we publish actual intake system horsepower increases for many part numbers and vehicles. To see the power gains of specific air intakes for specific vehicles, enter the part number in our part search or look up a specific vehicle in our application search."

When I see an independent dyno test done on one of these after 300 miles of driving, I will believe it!
