hmm... i dont think it's a good idea to do that, i dont believe our transmissions+rear diffs can handle that kind of abuse haha and i think CELs will fly off the roof?

Its totally safe it you do a wet system and you get the control modules to allow the system to only engage when the motor is over 3k rpm. Most "tuners" dont know much about NOS. They all think of video games, Fast and Furious, and blown 4 cylinder motors that were running only dry systems. also get a bottle warmer, and a cool purge

would defenitely get a good system and buy the proper control modules. any ideas on what brand? when i searched last night on nos, nx, and zex... none had a lexus system. so i'm guessing the universal is my only option. does anyone have experience with setting one up for their lexus? thanks again.

Generally the set ups are offered by engine size not just for each particular model. The install is relatively easy as well. Just make sure you do a wet system and find a place to be able to refill the bottles. Look up info on the cotrol modules. It will put your mind at ease about the motor running lean

Sorry I didnt see that.. But usually the bigger the engine the better for spray.

We already know the 4.3 v8 is a proven engine.. boost and spray has been used by many people with the previous generation gs, so you can check out their setups.

a modern motor can easily handle a 50 shot of wet NOS with no issues. The only issue will be having to keep going back to the shop to have the bottles filled . It makes super charger power for less than 20% of a superccharger . its a no brainer. Kiss you engine warranty away. I would wait until after 50k although its a Lexus . I doubt its going to blow before 50K
