What are some ways to increase the horse power in the GS 430 short of a super charger? Please include any details as I am not too educated in this area. Thanx

I seen a reuseable air filter at L-tuned web site.bad thing is it's back ordered 6 weeks. Replace the exhaust system might get you a few ponys.

6 HP difference, less torque, lose the V8 feel and sound? Nahhh~ You can gain 6HP by putting on an exhaust by itself. There are other things you can do like add an Intake, ECU remap, and torque converter. These are some of the less intrusive things you can do for less money, well certainly less than a Supercharger.

yah you're right, i was half kidding...i thought it was like 13 hp difference, but even then an exhaust and intake will do that.

Now a GS 450h, that is a different story~ Sweet!

I am still a V8 guy though. I am really excited to see what Lexus's new V8 will feel like.

According to Lexus's new posting on their website you are correct about the 13 HP difference but for many years including the 06' models they have been saying 300 HP for the 430. Their website is posting new numbers as of recently. Why this information has changed I have no idea except to maybe make the 350 look more appealing as they phase out the 430. As for the exhaust and intake on the 430, you can get a lot more than 13 HP, more like 35 HP or better if done right.

I believe it's the new SAE measurement changes in rating horsepower.

check E114.com they have exhaust dyno and sound clip,they claim 8hp from exhaust.

That's funny

Yes, and you can go to Swiftracing.com for their intake and ECU, I have seen it as low as $350 but their prices seem to change with the wind. The Dragon torque converter you will find on their website can be found cheaper if you look around.

I heard vinal stickers adds HP, but you need to add as many as possible
