IMHO...for the average person that doesn't have a great tuning shop nearby, or doesn't have the money for a swap a nice 75 shot of nitrous would do the trick. Figure the GS300 puts out 225hp (crank) that will put it up to 300hp (stock GS400 territory). The car would be a lot more fun. All can be had for under $1K. GL!

True, but it is one of the most cost effective (when also on a low budget) go-fast mods for a GS300.
