2003 Gs300...i've Got The Need For Speed
New to the market, I've got a 2003 gs 300 that I'd love to tweak out a bit. I'm looking for advise on installing BASIC modifications that may give my car a jolt of adreneline.

Depending on how much you want to spend:
1) SRT Intake/ECU: Gets most Hp out of all intake systems for GS
2) Aftermarket Torque Convertor: shave .5 secs off your 0-60 times
3) Turbo Kit for GS300: no need to explain!
Good luck!

Here you go:
Injen Intake
E-Manage or S-AFC 2
Xerd header with test pipe
Greddy cat back
Dyno tuning
That's quite a bit of increase all for under $2000. Forget the SRT intake. You'll get better gains from tuning your own particular setup on the dyno with a wideband. I dont' trust off the shelf maps at all. It's always best to tweak your particular setup since it (and your car) are always unique. The torque converter also works great but requires a lot more install labor and of course Turbo is the most cost effective way to get lot's of power from the car but that'll run you about $4000.

I made a custom Blitz SUS intake and have S-AFC II. I also have a Fujitsubo exhaust and am making custom test pipes for my GS400. Lastly, I have an ATS full carbon LSD to install but the only thing I have in my car is the SAFC II right now. I'm super duper busy with customer's cars so no time for my own.
