Lexus has no desire to enter into the HP War. Without factory support there will be no 'inhouse' tuners.




It's honestly not worth the time and effort to truly support the Lexus SC's as a 'Real' (engine,ext,int) Tuner.

'I'll assume that it's the same way with the rest of the line.

There's rumors that they already have a 500 hp CTS in the works for maybe the year after the first CTS-V comes out. The first CTS-V will actually have more HP then the Corvette using the same motor.

I've seen a 900 HP twin turbo Northstar... It's just too bad that us Caddy owners can't put any of this in our actual vehicles.

Sandrails seem to be the most popular thing for the N*... The supercharger project for the actual Caddies will have a 6 psi or so boost uping the HP to 400... They have some cams to up the entire thing to 484. The tranny will probably need to be rebuilt. Sucks having FWD. My friend already messed up his tranny with 125 shots of nitrous.
