INTAKE
Swift racing technologies intake
about 625 bucks and 12 hp to the wheels
swiftracing .com

EXHAUST
Greddy exhaust systems
see the greddy site or any car site exhaust page

NOS
(extreme racing only)

apexi afc
richens and lessens the air flow mix
i think like 300-400 and works well with an intake
(SRT intake doesnt really need this)

torque converter
gives more power quicker from start or more power on higher end of acceleration

OTHERS
1. take out spare tire... maybe like 60 lbs
2. carbon fiber hood..losses like 25 lbs (500$)
3. racing seats..drops like 200 lbs total..(1100 both)
4. gut car and put roll cage... carbon fiber body.. but that is for guys that have lots of money and if u had that money, then why buy the IS300??

Bout the post about why I got the IS300. I just turned 20, as cool as it would be driving a GS400 or something along those lines at age 20, Im gonna have to say I'll pass. So its not about the money.
