Default Engine performance upgrades

Hi, new to the IS world (longtime member of the ES world), sorry if this is an old topic.
Anyway, are there any V6 engine upgrades for our cars? I've belonged to many other cars lists where chipping the engine was a popular topic. Not so much here ...
'23 IS350 F Sport V6/AWD

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, and
Torque is how far you take the wall with you

Hello,

So far there is FBO (Exhausts, Intake, Throttle Body, Headers) plus tune from RR Racing and i know there is Supercharger in progress for FKS engines (2018+) from RR Racing as well.

No turbo options, at least nothing for mass production, maybe independent shops can do some custom stuff.

I would first start with suspension (coilovers/springs, strut bar, bracing, LCA bushings), brakes (RCF/GSF brakes or any BBK) and tires to make sure car is responsive and less „boat’y”. Then add more power to it.

Not much. Exhaust and intakes.

Apologize but that is not true, i understand you guys not selling other parts than that but other companies are making/selling tune, headers, throttle body for the car - granted gains are minimal, but parts are there available.

We sell those as well, there isn't much improvement with throttle bodies. Headers and tune, a lot of people don't like to do because of "warranty"
