+1. Heavily modifying that car if it's your daily driver isn't the best idea, IMO, since it will void the warranty right away.

im not going to heavily moddify it, i just want about 300-330hp at the wheels. stock they put down about 260. thats not too much more, is there anyway that i could get that type of power without installing a turbo on the car? yes this is my daily driver

With that engine, you could probably pick up 40-50whp with every possible NA bolt-on and a good dyno tune. I know the 350 is more responsive to NA mods than the IS300... the 300 maxes at like 220ishwhp with every NA bolton.

yeah i read on a lexus forum that there is a supercharger but it is only for the is250. it puts out 60-80 horsepower. but it costs like $4,000. i think best way to go is just pipes and intake and leave it at that.

The best thing to do would be modding it after it gets OLD. A lexus will run forever, so modding it even at 100k miles is nothing to worry about.

I'd just do small things like exhaust, exterior, etc..
