Question IS 250 Fsport performance gain?

I recently purchased a 2014 awd Is250 F Sport, and am a little let down by the power. Unfortunately I was not able financially to get the 350 F Sport and I would prefer the appearance of 250 F Sport rather than a Base 350.

I was wondering if there is any way to get some slight performance upgrades without harming any engine reliability. I was looking into tunes, exhaust, or coils but not sure what to do for the next mod.

With the top speed reached of 131mph and getting there very slowly I am a little let down, But the appearance makes up for it 👌.

Any suggestions???

Thanks

You can do full I/H/E and tune may give you a 10~15% gain when you looking to spend around $3000 plus installation.

Yea I know what you mean. I'm planning on trading in my 15 250Fsport this December for a 350Fsport. It's pretty sad when I can't even pass a Honda Pilot on the on ramp.

As for upgrades, I'm not sure there's anything you can do to gain noticeable power increases without spending $$$$$. I got an exhaust and intake and although it sounds nice it doesn't make the car that faster (if at all). I'd say just enjoy it for what it is for now, and then when you can financially trade it in for something bigger.
