looks good LXO !!! cant wai tto see it in person!!

 

so many ideas, so little money

 

Quite possible the best and most complete GS out there on CL.

Everything is top notch.

I woudl love to learn more about prices etc for the supercharger etc for the GS 300.

 

lol, yes i showed up, EVENTUALLY.
havent seen ken that often myself since he has been transforming his car into a GS GOD.
i gotta give ken some heavy mad props for all the time, effort, and artistic originality that he's
put into this performance masterpiece.

 

went into LMW for service today and saw ur gs in the back. looks even better in person.

 

his is a show car man, wherever the car is, people walk up to it and look

 

Ken .... do you have any pics with your strut brace on?

 

Not yet bro.. I have to get an additional spacer to raise the STB due to it rubbing the engine cover. However, let me tell you that with the STB on, the engine looks really good. The polish pieces really make the engine come to life...

 

curious, if you raise the stb higher, is it going to hit the hood lining?

 

ken... is carson makin a carson tuned strut bar for the 430 yet??? he told me they should be comin out soon

 

nop it's still under development

 

Guys with all the mods in his car its still a gs3 whats the horsepower gain and compare to the gs4 v8 . I am trying to understand with the money he spend ,is it faster then the gs4.
If you mod is a gs4 wouldn't it be better and faster. I am not putting his car down ,his car is awesom...................
just trying to understand more.with the mod on his gs3 could he beat the gs4.

 

This setup will beat a stock GS4. Ken will be close to 300rwhp while the GS4s are around 245rwhp. It will not beat a GS4 with a modest S/C (RMM for an example which depends on the setup can go from 340-390 rwhp) or a TT like a few others on here. He can beat a GS4 FI (with a diferent setup) if he chooses to but that would take more work (and $ ). I don't think Ken was going for the HUGE setup.

For daily driving, I think this it plenty. Hell, what the OEM V8 puts out is plenty for driving around town.

 

Ken that car looks so awesome.. Looks like you are in the stage of doing engine performance mods.

Is that you daily driver or just show?

 

yup, in terms of power, his car with the FI will definitely blow away my gs4, even with the tc and lsd. but in temrs of long term drivability, i think that's up in the air. i have a feeling that if we are talking about long time running on the track, my gs4 will probably stay longer than his car with boost.

so there is always this trade off
