More grunt down low
What is the most cost effective way to find more power in the 1,500 to 5,000 RPM range? My IS-F has more than I can use at the top, but I want more torque. I am looking for better response in everyday driving situations (off the line, merging onto freeways, etc.). Using the Sport mode certainly helps, but it is still not as quick as I want.
Is there anything I can do for $1,500 or less that will make a big difference in low end performance?
Thanks,
Mikey

the 4.08 rear swap will do it. Some days i find it a PITA with the 1-2-3 shifting so insanely quick, but it really is fun. I bought my F with the swap done, and have not driven an F "stock", so i cannot give you a valid comparison..
But Doug Greenup at Lexus of Dayton can elaborate.
