Is your car a 300 or 350?

If you have a 300 you should buy the 350. If you have a 350 with a intake and exhaust and your still not happy with the power, Im sorry to say you bought the wrong car.

Yeah it can be done but he said for not much money. This would take a good bit of cheeze to be done, not mentioned to be done correctly.

without puttin mad cash in??

There's your problem right there. In fact, it sounds kinda silly. Forgive me but I have to tell it straight.
To even consider bumping the power without spending whatever it takes to do it right and make it safe.....just seems unimaginable. This is no Civic.

I believe I saw a forced induction kit available on L-tunedparts.com but it ain't cheap and nor should it be.

Just be happy with the stock 300hp. I am.

At this point even if you made your car lighter (BBK/wheels) it still wouldn't gain you much. The GS 350 is fastest in class with the 535, if you want faster, you need to look at a 450h or an IS-F.
