Unhappy How can I get a little more HP?

I have a 1999 SC300 I love it but it needs a little bit more humph! Anyone knows a not so expensive way to unleash the beast?
Turbos, superchargers?

Lance at www.Toyomoto.com can help ya.

Turbocharger...you've got the same motor as the Toyota Supra. Spend $5k - $7k and go pull away from the vettes and supras in your SC.

If you wanna see some of his work, this months issue of Turbo magazine has an IS300 on the front with over 600hp. Also a few people on here have his kit on their SC. Including me in about 2 weeks.

Direct, I called you on Thursday and Friday from Chicago. Your voice mail never came on(if you have one on your cell). I'm sure the caller Id had the number. I called from a friend of mine house at 773-3**-***9 at 3:00 on Thur. and 11:30 on Fri.

I also called 2Lexos and no one answered there either... I'll be back thru your way in a few weeks again, maybe this time we all can hook up.

935sp, how did the business go in 'Mazoo? Next time....

No way, it's my cell phone, it should have came on and then my call log didn't show any numbers at all. Remember, my number is 847-971-8706. I called you on saturday and someone else picked it up and said you will call back. Ummm, I don't know what's going on. That kinda sux. Uhhh, do you have Instant Messager screen name or you wanna join the mailing list? Keep in contract with us.

That's okay man. I am going to MI on the 12th to visit a friend, and might end up visiting another friend who has a nice Supra. That will be my last trip for the year as winter is around the corner.
