Okay so I am buying a lexus is300, maybe year 2004. I want to make this fast as lightning lol. What should I do to it? I will take it to a tuning store, but exactly what do I tell him to do, and around what price range will this all be? I want it turbocharged and all the good stuff. I want it prepared for racing.
Please give prices (at least an estimate) to turbocharge and make it all good.

For one ur gonna have to build up the internal forged pistons, rods and whatnot but since u want to turbocharge it ur gonna want to look into another tranny cuz the trannys on the is300 r only good for maybe 300 hp... and its gonna be costly because for one its a lexus...so be lookin at like $5500...i was interested in getting one but the insurance was too high but go to this is300 forum plenty of ppl have turbocharged them...they have strong blocks but they r expensive to mod...http://my.is/forums/f88/

all the goodies, 350 whp $4200.00

the IS engine is capable of 800whp but break the 300 mark and tune the hell out of the suspension and you'll have a faster car.
