Would be nice for the OP to just get his question answered...He's not new to the forums and knows he drives a slower IS250....Too many people just out to beat a dead horse that he didnt even drag into this...
That said... from experience, Headers & Exhaust will add a little get up and go, on paper I'm not sure what it ever accounted for on my 250, but not too much at low RPM's, thats for sure. They mainly attributed to making speeds from ~40-85mph a lot smoother and quicker. Honestly a loud intake like Fujita or others will make you feel faster (because the noise).
EDIT: Saw your signature and you do have the Fujita intake...Guess you already sound fast

It's not that I don't enjoy fast cars or can't afford them, it's more like I don't have time for them (I have other priorities these days).
The power of the 250 is right about where I want it, and when gas gets close to $4 a gallon, its fun knowing I spend about 15-20% less than if I had a 350, even though it was not the reason for getting the lesser powered car.
If Lexus had not offered a 2.5 I probably would have gotten something else, maybe gone BMW.
But yeah people shouldn't try to turn them into a fast car, it misses the point.

FWIW from a 40 roll, a 350 did not get the best of me

I'm hoping to have time slips on a 1/4 or 1/8 mile track in the next few months to see just what a boosted 250 can do in comparison to a 350. Bags + camber wont help tho nor did i do any of it to prove anything on the streets Trying to provide info for the forum though to fuel these debates though hahaha

Racing on a roll is one of the most inefficient way of comparing which car is faster. Reaction time plays a huge role and is a major factor in determining which car comes out on top. At least on a drag strip, the time doesn't factor in the R/T.
Still can't wait for the dyno.
