You could still port the intake manifold and throttle body correct?

Yeah that is certainly an option, but not sure how much Lexus left on the plate for us to improve upon.

Oh ok, I just thought I read somewhere someone had some pretty decent gains or it may have been mixed with headers also. I know if it was promising Id be all over it. I think someone here is actually selling a core set as well.

Well i picked up 13hp across the board with it (had just the joe-z pipe, toms filter and ISS exhaust at the time).

This is more along the lines of what I was thinking follows next. Unless I can get a used engine cheap to find some really useful gains like lightening the crank, putting in oil scrapers, and doing some cylinder head work.

It' a crap shoot. I usually like to add lift with relatively stock timings for street use, but without knowing how the ports flow, it's difficult to say if more lift will be good or not. If the heads are coming off, then all this can be measured, but without doing the homework on the ports and how they flow, changing the cams is just guesswork.
