i imagine if someone could step up and put together a "economical" (economical meaning running low boost to maintain the reliability of the motor) turbo kit for the ls400, that would be the ticket. I know there is a lot to it, i'm not doubting it. But, i would think adding approx. 100hp to this stock engine would be the ticket. May need to upgrade the tranny to handle the power, .... not sure.
