I don't know If a 350 was available when you bought your 250 but having a 350 would make it go faster in 0-60 than a 250

Be prepared for a lot of "you should have bought a 350" responses...

I'm not really aware of anything that isn't ridiculously expensive that will give you meaningful gains in your 0-60 time.

I Know But im stuck with the 250 for now, its fully loaded with everything i just want it to pull a little harder!

No need to justify it. It's a good car. It's just going to be difficult to eek any meaningful gains out of it with readily available aftermarket parts.

And welcome, by the way, to the club. I hope you enjoy your new IS!

Pull it back to the dealer and get a 350

if you have the money boost it.
if there is any aftermarket company has one for the 250 application that is.

Like any car - the faster you get cold air in and out the better. Since you can't probably go straight to a ported and larger injectors, start with a cold air intake if one is available and then a quality exhaust system.

I've turbo'ed several NA cars with less electronic equipment and to get them reliable, you're talking $10,000+, so you're really only limited to the few small mods you can get your hands on.

probably only realistic thing you could do would be a full exhaust, something less restrictive than stock anyway..

intake I guess, but don't expect any real gains with this.. just a lot of noise

thank you guys for all the responses and all the love im glad to become apart of the Lexus IS Crew! Im Gonna Get Cold Air Intake and a full exhaust for now! any recommendations as far as the exterior goes, i know it looks sick ti begin with but just any extra features to make it look better would help thanks again

I have an IS 250 F-Sport. I could not justify the expense of the 350 for the driving that I do. I am coming from a '94 GS300, which was a great car for me for 12 years. The 250 is lighter than the GS and has a 6 speed auto vs. the 4 speed, so it is quicker. I know the 250 is not all that quick versus many other cars on the road, but I have a 10 mile round trip commute to work. Most of the speed limits are 50 or less, and there is always traffic. I guess you should think about why 0-60 time is so important and, if the IS250 doesn't do it for you, you should look at getting a different car.

I haven't even had my car for two weeks and I am starting to push it a little more through corners. It feels confident and balanced. I haven't pushed it to rotate yet. I like the firmness of the ride. Cornering is more my thing versus straight line sprints and I grin when I put the car through a nice tight turn. In that department, it doesn't matter much if it's a 250 or 350, but it probably does matter some that it's an F-Sport.

Just think about the driving you do, though. I don't even get the car to 60 that often in a 10 mile round trip. Maybe it's different for you.

Im sure there is a supercharger for the IS250. I think Aimgain make it.

I have to say, driving the IS in Sport mode is pretty rewarding. I tend to leave it in normal for day-to-day commuting, and throw it into Sport when the road is open and I want to have a little more fun. No idea what the actual 0-60 difference is, but it certainly feels more urgent/fun.

the stock intake system is cold air already, the joez intake pipe gives about 5-6rwhp and is inexpensive and easy to swap out
