its a 1999 the money is not a big factor i need it to be reliable though. i was thinking of a low boost turbo but i live in vegas and the heat in the summer is bad on turbo cars! but i like the front bumper i think its called 4 l ? it has the opening for an intercooler what other mods . im really thinking of trading it in and buying a 400 . its an awesome car for crusing but not for speed ! what do u guys think

If money's not a factor, then get a 400 or 430. The reliability of a stock 400/430 will be much greater than adding an aftermarket turbo/supercharger to your GS300.
