Good morning all,
I purchased my LS460 F Sport last week and while 386hp is plenty, I'm coming for a M6. So I'm used to a tad more hp on deck. I've been looking online since before I even purchase my LS to try to find aftermarket turbos/superchargers/engine tunes, etc. I haven't had much luck. Is there a certain shop or any work you all have done to your LS? I'm not trying to have 500+ hp. I'd like to get somewhat over 400 though. Thanks for your time.
And I kno a Lexus LS isn't a performance-oriented vehicle like a M, but I figure it's still something that can be done.

This is the only thing I've seen, and it's expensive! I believe the kit costs around $13k. It would probably be better to upgrade to an LS 500 at this point.

^^^ Yes, you're right, $18k. I had thought I saw it for $13k + installation, but no, seems to be around $18k + installation.

That would be interesting to add a supercharger...but at that price you could get a second LS that has another 386 HP...I know, not the same but you might as well just throw the money at a used fast weekend car instead.

Thanks for all the input. Yeah I may try to do small things here and there. Can't drop $13K just to go faster lol. It has plenty of power. I was just trying to eek out a bit more.

Yeah I thought about going domestic, but wanted something I knew would be reliable, not knocking Dodge cars or anything. I've had awesome experience with Japanese cars, so I wanted to go back that direction. But I did consider a 300 SRT8 lol. WAY more hp, but I love the smoothness and aggressive look of the Lex.

You made a good decision and I would keep the LS the way it is because it is fast enough for me..... You can always upgrade the exhaust to make it sound powerful.

BTW! That 300 SRT is a lot of car for the money and handles great..... I drove one on a road course and I was very impressed on how it handled.

You think the Hellcat is fast (it is), look at the Demon......OMG. Around a thousand HP.....and fully warranted by Dodge. Even come with drag tires and jack, track equipment etc. It is now the fastest production car in the world. 0-60 in 2.3 seconds...
