Default Noobie question

Sorry admins, most likely this thread's gonna get re-directed, but I am planning to buy a Gs series lexus. 2001. Will it be better for me to get a GS300 and swap motors? or get a GS430 and supercharge it. Thanks guys!

Depends on how deep your pockets are......

Also, depends on what your trying to accomplish.

behind the "does the light go off when i close the fridge door?" question this is the 2nd biggest question of the century...

do a search and you'll find the pros and cons of each. turbo vs supercharger.

i'm somewhat debating between the engine swap and an upgrade to the gs4...

the easy route is the gs4 but the grand daddy setup would be the gte conversion from an imported front clip. now that's hot!

and alex...

ls400 twin turbo? yikes!!
