Default 1999 LEXUS GS 400 help on picking performance parts?

I have a stock lexus gs 400 ,and wanted to ask what. Is the smartest way to go,on performance parts,
I don't really want gears and stall,but has any one ,done a SRT stage 2 race intake and ecu,or the weapon R, also has someone done the kelford cams and springs?? And polished and ported heads, or installed other heads and cams?? I raced on a roll a IS 350 and I'm pretty sure with some parts ill get it, also I have read of someone doing upgraded injectors and coil hotpacks and muffler delete and claiming 12 .7 quartermile times, Thanks for your time!! Have a great day!!

I would say Port & polish head is the best route i seen so far. I did the mechanical upgrade, my car can beat an IS350. There is a guy on here with port and polish and his times were the same with an ISF (0-60 in 4.3 sec, qtr mile in the low 12's just doing that by itself.. I'll have to find the Thread..
