Does anyone know the max hp limit on stock block yet? For the inline 4 turbo on the is300.
looking into doing some performance mods to see if I can get it up to 500+whp

500+ wheel hp? There aren't enough mods you could do to the inline 4 that would put you there. I may be wrong, but i don't think so. I don't even think you can get the V6's to 500+ wheel hp. It's a nice dream, but that's about all it is. These cars weren't built to be performance cars. There are so many other choices out there if performance is your thing. I know, everybody wants to be different, and that's good. But realistically I don't think it'll happen.

Yeah unrealistic goals dude, sorry, even the 3.5L v6 with full bolt on's, tuned, and stage 3 supercharger on e50 ethanol tops out at around 440 WHP. No chance is getting that inline 4 even close.
