Race him in reverse so you have RWD for better traction.

Because it seems like your motivation to modify your car is coming from the fact that you can't beat an IS300 street racing....

NO! we mod and "hook-up" our cars because it is a hobby. we take this **** serioulsy. we enjoy lookin good , goin fast, and whippin ***. but there is no reason to purposely make ur car faster just to beat a lex......whoooo! i can beat a lex in my cavy, but i dont care.....there is always someone out there with somethin better or quicker. what are u gunna do??? make ur car fastr than everyone?

seriously i dont mod my car to be faster that other cars. i mod my car to turn and stop better then other cars. in a straight line our cars stock aren't really going to win, they may win against some cars but those really dont matter. why not modify your car in an area where it can really improve?

your a real dick head..i mod my car for the same reason most ppl on this forum do, 1 being its a hobbie and i enjoy modding my car , 2 to make it look better , 3 to make it handle better and stop faster, and 4 yes i hook up my car so i can beat other cars but you guys act like thats the only reason when its not .and all of you kno when you win a race you feel good about yourself and your car . so i really dont see why some of you had to be such *** holes......

Please refrain from using "we", some people have a hard enough time speaking for themselves, but I would rather someone not speak for me personally to make their point seemed weighed towards another.

I do this strictly for me. I like experimenting with my car, modifying parts here and there to see how the car reacts to it. Pushing it the limit with whatever budget I have planned for myself. I don't care about who it looks good and/or bad to same goes with engine power. I have my own perception of things and whatever reason a person changes his or her car I will leave to them. I have other things to worry about.

To the original poster: It sounds as if you have already started "some" work on the head already, you might try looking into a port and polish as well as 3 angle valve job on the head. An aftermarket cam gear doesn't necessarily have to be used. For the cost, I am not going to suggest getting an entire head package, but instead a intake manifold as well as larger bore throttle body to match it. If beating an is300 is your goal go for it, soon after the goals might change to something else.
