Hey Tony, the best and least expensive way for more HP is trade your 3.0 for an STR.

Sorry bud, but there really is not much out here to boost the 3.0.

Dubious investment on any car, but a complete waste of money on these ones.

None do anything useful with any S-Type. Don't waste time or money on them.

LSX swap. Done. Lol.

I think it would be cool to grab a high miles v6 S-Type for like $4k and throw in a built LSX or a 5.3 junkyard turbo build. Run the 1/4 in 9 seconds in plush leather with a sunroof.

That's about all the car would be able to do!
