Default Gs 300/400 modified??

Has anyone broke into the sub 13 sec 1/4 mile time with a daily driven gs? If so please post some info. I'm about to add a 100 shot of juice on my 400. Just wanted to know if other's had some track experience with these numbers.

I've never seen anyone claim this yet....I have been looking for the answer to this myself. I'm looking at a 125hp shot along with the SRT intake,S&S headers,LSD,TQ converter,exhaust, and sticky tires.

there's plenty of GS300s with a 2JZ-GTE V160 swap... those motors and trannys are good for 1000hp... with no internal engine modifications

Arguable at best. I would be more comfortable to claim 800 as a max on stock internals. Some have exceeded that number but most have eventually broke something (valvetrain, piston rod, etc)

sure... 800 hp is still good for atleast 13s with a 4000lb car...

my buddy with his 94 supra has 743 whp... stock 180,000km old 2JZ-GTE... has been running 18+lbs of boost since he bot the car with 50,000kms...

Exactly. Just because people have gotten 1000hp on stock parts does not mean that it will be reliable or last for long. There is no arguing that the 2JZ/6 speed is way overbuilt, but it is not designed for those power levels for an extended amount of time. I believe mkorsu is only talking about the GS400s though, so the 2JZ is not an option anyway. There are very few people here who have really focused on all out speed with the GS400. I feel that with nitrous it should be relatively reliable and still retain its smooth driving and luxury feel while hopefully dipping into the high 12s. That's just enough to **** off those AMG Benz's and BMW M Cars......

At import nationals a couple years ago at Norwalk Raceway park in Ohio, there was a GS300 built by Sound Performance that ran a 12.40 @ 119 MPH.
T78 turbo + fuel = 625 RWHP.

That's a real good time for a gs. I still didn't install my gears yet, but as soon as I do, expect a p.m.
