I'm looking to get more HP for my 2015 GX460. Any suggestions?

I've done a TON of searching on this topic as I'm a gear head that doesn't like leaving anything I drive stock, and I've come up totally empty.

As far as I can tell nobody makes an intake for this engine, nobody makes a tune, nobody makes a supercharger. Nothing.

About the the only thing I can think of you can do to free up a few ponies would be a K&N or AFE drop in air filter and a custom mandrel bent catback with bigger piping and a higher flow muffler, maybe some high flow cats.

That being said, I've been quite pleased with the power and torque this motor has. It's smooth as all get out and has plenty of oomph to get out of its own way. Much better to drive than I was expecting coming from a '15 supercharged Escalade.

So what do you REALLY want? More HP or more power available while driving? People "buy" horsepower, but people drive with TORQUE. The power you feel is more about torque, than horsepower. Torque is what propels you from a stop without pushing the throttle to the floor, and hitting redline. Simply put, its the power you normally use in normal driving. Horsepower is what you get at wide open throttle and very high RPM.

The OP stated HP.

I would like more HP. More tourgue is a complicated request for the GX460. A supercharger would be a nice option. Oh well no option for either
