I was browsing on the Ford F150 board a while ago and one guy posted that some dude in a soccer mom Lexus GX was able to keep up with him side by side as he entered the freeway even with his foot slammed on the gas pedal. Obviously he wasn't happy and looking for headers and straight cat-back to increase power.

I gunned mine a few times and I could
get from 60mph to 90mph really quick. A couple days ago, I was climbing a fairly steep grade and needed to pass, I flipped to S and it just took off.

300 Hp in a 5300 pound AWD tank is not going to run with a F150. Ecoboost F150 with 4wd will run high 13's in the 1/4 mile. The 5.0 Coyote motor is even faster.
I will say that my TRD 4wd Tundra with 1 cat gone and good open muffler smoked a Ecoboost F150 by bus lengths. But, the TRD Tundra is 700 lbs lighter than the GX and stock makes 385 hp.
Nether the Tundra 5.7 or the GX460 motor can take much boost. The compression ratio is already over 10:1, boosted motors typically have 8 or 9:1 compression. Some are even lower.
Your only power booster that would be easy and safe is a nitrous kit. You could add 100hp real easy with NOS.

Even if it wasn't faster, if they could just fix some of the things that everyone has to modify on the GX460. I'm thinking this as I order 18 LED bulbs for the GX and how my 2015 F150 Platinum had every bulb LED except the foglights. Its just the small $150 things that make a difference. But I didn't have to change out bulbs in my truck.....
