Default F Sport - increase HP?

Hello -

Has anyone "chipped" their RX to give it more HP. The turning factor is 300HP in many of the in class vehicles and just wanted to check if it was at all possible and with who's product. Thumping it at 70mph and getting to 100 fast is what I am thinking.

Thanks!

the RX 350 is definitely not your vehicle IF that is what you want.
the CUV is heavy.. a V6 RAV4 has more power than an RX 350. ( faster from one stoplight to the next)
an Audi SQ5 fits your need.

There are no chips for any of the Lexus models. The computer is locked down and has not been cracked.

Your best bet to get a few extra ponies is a free-flow exhaust and cold-air intake.

I'd go the porsche macan route- 330+ hp from a turbo v6. Had it been available when I was shopping I would have bought one. Planning for 4 years from now....(sigh)
