How can the non F-Sports make more power
Is it possible to get a little more power by adding f sport intake pipe or is350 intake? We need to get more cold air in to let the engine breathe better and doing so without voiding warranty.

Get 12 HP here, but with over 300 HP on tap, 12 extra horses is still too small to notice the 3.9% increase.

Although I agree that spending the amount of money to achieve more power isn't really worth it, the only thing I would recommend would be making the overall vehicle weight lower. Lots of members achieve this by buying lightweight wheels (Enkei comes to mind although I know they are an OEM manufacturer for Toyota/Lexus).
With lighter wheels and potentially wrapped in eco-friendly, low rolling resistance rated tires, you will likely see more fuel efficiency and maybe, just maybe the car might feel lighter on its feet from a standstill.

A wise friend of mine, who mostly drives Porsches, told me; "If you want a faster car, then buy a faster car. Don't mod." (modding cars can cause potential problems and most of the time a waste of time and money)
I for one believe this to be mostly true (but half true for me). I researched my parts very well before adding it to my car and 15 years later still no problems and my car runs like a rocket. But for most people out there, its just better to just take his advice and just buy a faster car..
With all the money I spent modding my lexus I could have bought an AMG Mercedes. But I still love my Lexus and glad I didn't follow his advice, He's on his 12th Porsche and I'm still on my 1st Lexus!

I need more power I wish these cars came faster from factory .why haven't Lexus started to make awd v8. Seriously need some power adders. Or lighter wheels how much does f sport wheels weigh compared to the 18s alloy? Just doesn't give me that launch am looking for or should I be driving in sport mode and use the paddles to shift. Maybe that would make a difference as oppose to driving in D. Am very skeptical of using the paddles and worry abou over revving and redlining.

If you want more power, buy something else. Even a boosted GS350 was barely making what a stock Coyote 2011 Mustang makes at the wheels. They're not fast, nor will they be fast unless you do an engine swap with something that actually makes power.
