GS400 Engine MOD's?
for those of you who have GS4's, what engine mod's have you done? and for each mod, can you tell a difference or not?
torque converter, intakes, exhausts, grounding kits, voltage stabilizers, new batteries... anything that would affect performance, no matter how small or large the mod.
i'm planning on new battery, intake, ecu, exhaust and stabilizer and grounding kit
but i'd like to know what else would make my GS have a little more bite

I think the upgrade is around $400-500 but then there is installation plus down time when you send your VB in.
Shifts like a vette though

I hvae just had my 3.76 LSD replaced with my stock differential so I am waiting to see if that helps or whether I will have to reduce my stall speed on my TC.
