Catback exhaust and nitrious....that's the "cheapest" way. Exhaust is super restrictive stock.

Nitrous would definitely be the "cheapest" way to achieve that goal.

Nitrous is the cheapest until your ringlands pop 😄 after that it ain’t so cheap but seriously your looking at around $3500-5000 depending on the set up you want 500 crank hp

Sell your Aston and use that money to supercharge the F. You have these cars but love to go cheap. Laughable.

Congratulations on your new purchase.

Is "cheapest" the same as "best"? If yes, then why did you choose a Lexus?
