I need help increasing hp for my 96 SC400
I have a 96 SC400, and need help finding some mod for more hp. This is the only mod I have done: JIC cat-back system, k&n air flow filter. I want to have a little more hp, and was wondering what else can I do. Please help me! Thanks You!

75 shot of NOS is about the cheapest bang for the buck.
Replace the front exhaust, and you'll gain some ponies.
In reality, do a tune up too. You'd be amazed at the increase a new set of plugs/wires can do if yours are shot and you don't know about it.
TC's (torque converter) don't add hp, but dropped almost a half second off my qtr mile time, so it's better than most bolt on mods to get hp.
Good luck,
Keith

I am thinking about getting a SC400 and here are the mods I plan on doing if I do.
1. Full exhaust from the headers back.
2. cold air intake
3. bigger injectors/throttle body/fuel pump/ FPR
4. customize the ecm.
5. get cams cut customized to the motor
6. if all that does not work, I am going to add a supercharger.
Of course the last one will require a lot of work, including a custom intake manifold. I believe TRD makes a kit for their Tundra with the V8, but I do not believe it is compatible.
I am opening a shop in the North Side of Chicago latter this year, and I plan on specializing in many makes, Lexus is one of the many.
