80-100 extra hp.. looks promising. knowing it's HKS behind the build will be rewarding.

Tom's develops their s/c's to be safe and reliable, that's why the minimal power gain. Most Lexus engines are high compression and they understand it only take a little bit to make an impact. They are expensive parts to begin with but that is the attention to detail that shines in their products. Tom's developers understand this. More boost, more power, more fuel issues, more reliability problems later on.

Wow, that looks AMAZING with those rims! LS should come stock from the factory with BBS LM rims .

Way to go HKS! So much for the people that say it's extremely hard to make performance gains on Toyota or Lexus models .

If HKS can do it, others can do it too.
