Let's try high boost - 600+ WHP Turbo IS300

Today I decided to try my luck and do some high boost pulls in my turbocharged 2002 Lexus IS300. As seen in the video, it is a handful at this power level and struggles for traction in nearly every gear. Rear tires are 255/35/18 BFG g-Force Sport Comp-2.

What's the poitn of that power if you can't hold any of it? I'm only going be making 550whp, but I need 295/55r15 with MT s/s drag tires to get traction.

Try some nto5's or toyo r888 you will love them, if I heat them up I can almost hook 2nd at 20-30

[scubagto]

hey did you have to take out dash to paint the trim or does that part come off ?

[MrJacksparrow]

Isnt the 3" exhaust a little small?

[rr]

What are you running for tires, I struggle In 3rd only if I don't warm them up in 2nd?

[helllordmort]
