GS300 280HP without turbo?
Hey CL I was wondering if a 2GS300 could reach 280HP without having to go turbo? JeffTsai said you could do intake headers full exhaust tuning stage 2 cams with SAFC you will see significant gains .... just wondering if this is enough to reach around 280 to the wheels?

Why not just get a GS400/430? Is it the cost of gas? If so we can do some simple math to figure out how much more your spending per year.
A couple of assumptions first:
1) annual miles driven per year = 12,000
2) Average Cost of gas = $4/gallon
3) GS300 Average # of miles per gallon = 21 (motortrend listed 2003 year as 25/25 but its likely we would get less)
4) GS430 Ave # of miles per gallon = 18 (based on my current experiences on my '02 GS430)
GS300 Total # of gallons required in 1 year = 12,000/21 = 571.42
GS300 Annual Gas cost = 571.42 * $4 = $2,285.71
GS430 Total # of gallons required in 1 year = 12,000/18 = 666.66
GS430 Annual Gas cost = 666.66 *$4 = $2,666,66
Difference in gas cost = $380.95/yr
How much would it cost to increase the horsepower of a GS300 to that of the GS430 a few thousand?
So really the price difference in gas cost isn't much.

You could find one with a A340 tranny from anywhere between $1,500 to 2,000+. And then you have the labor which prices vary. Even if you do spend a little bit more, without a doubt you'll make more power with the GTE than you'll ever make with the na GE.
