lexusben Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I just bought a used 98 GS400. It is still pretty quick, but I was hoping I could get some suggestions to add a little bit more acceleration to it (0-60 range). Currently I have only done cosmetic (tinted windows and rims)to the car, so I was wondering about Intakes, Exhausts, etc, I could get.

BlexusGS Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 If you want a REAL sleeper and make a DRAMATIC difference...buy a Precision Industries (high stall) torque converter. You can request any stall speed (rpm) that you would like. The unit itself is $700 and a (rather mandatory) auxillary B&M tranny cooler is needed and can be purchased for around $60 bucks or so. New tranny fluid/filter and install of these items will be around another $600 but I tell you...for $1300 bucks you step on the gas and could leave a 20' mark. It is a NIGHT AND DAY difference! No more lag at all off the line; it is instantaneous power! I think PI quotes 0-60 times are reduced by .6 - .7 seconds and the 1/4 mile by almost .4 seconds assuming you can get the traction. lol Check it out...GL!

lexusben Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks for the ideas, can I get a couple links. Also, what would be the price range for the supercharger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what would be the price range for the supercharger? um i'd say for a COMPLETE kit....maybe a grand or so....i dunno. doubt it should be higher than 4 for a complete kit....including intercooler, FMU, etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
