12,100 dollars!! for that much money I will build my motor with carillo h-beam rods and better pistons. Then make my own manifolds (and I can and that's my plan) for twin ct12's or something I may even have money left for a dry sump system!!

not worth the money .....350hp...12000 dollars that equates to about...200$ per HP. Will agree with JT2MA71...local guy here in ny could make me a twin turbo kit for about 6k....with the left over money i might build the motor and tranny and make about 500hp!!

12000k for 60 hp, not worth the money.

overpriced, underpowered and a total waste of money. If you wanted to you could do twin T-66's with all the trimmings for 10K.

That only gives you the "I have it" bragging right (if you want to call it bragging right). But like everyone else said, way overpriced. There are few other companies that makes the supercharger kit for the LS430, but all are $12,000 and above with almost the same amount of output. For that much money, I'll just go with a custom turbo kit or the 2J swap like many Celsiors in Japan and have like 500-700hp. It all comes down to what you want, if you have the budget happy with it, that's all it really matters.
