I have a low mileage 2008 LS460L & would like to have my car with your quality supercharger in the future when it’s developed. I bet more people want them and just wasn’t available, at least not a great one with great output as yours!!

We will try to keep the price down compared to our ISF/RCF/GSF KITS, but it will likely be around $9000.
HP spec will be at least 550hp or so.
Overall goal for the car will be to make it a real sports sedan, with our own proper suspension and brakes for a total package of power and handling.... no VIP and curtains on the windows
Anyone genuinely interested or are we wasting our time?
The differentials in 08-09 ISF are the same as the ‘10-12 Sport. Open E diffs. ‘10+ ISF wore the same Torsen diff as the ‘13-17 F Sport. Everything else is likely as robust.
The transmission in the all the above mentioned models are the same. As mentioned in the dozens of articles and factory reference brochures I’ve read. It was revised when the RCF came out in ‘15. All the same driving tendencies I experience in my Sport I’ve read about in the ISF forums.
In my opinion, driving in M mode and redlining daily with Toms Racing filters, deleted secondary’s and 2.5” catback exhaust.... this platform could easily handle another 100HP if you wanted to spend the right amount of money.
Did Rafi give up on tuning the LS platform let alone a S/C?
Just curious as I was looking at the LS as a potential in our garage and would be nice to at least have it tuned like the ISF........... FBO ISFs are night and day different than from the factory! I'm assuming the LS motor would respond just as well with headers/exhaust & a good tune.
I am still interested in the supercharger . I was able to unlock the speed limit using basic firmware flasher . I am looking to invest in a supercharger.
Even if the supercharger option has flown the coup, it would still be nice to get a tune/intake/headers. I came from an ISF and am currently considering GSFs and LS460s for about the same money. Bolt ons on a LS460 would be very attractive to me and I would love to see Rafi provide some level of support for the LS platform even if it is not a supercharger. From what I have gathered looking through here, intakes and exhaust need a tune on this platform to realize significant gains. Is this the case?
A catch can solution would be great since most of our LS consume oil.
Catch cans are usually used to prevent oily crankcase ventilation from entering the intake tract. Typically, "oil consumption" is not generated by crankcase ventilation unless the PCV valve fails and there is a buildup of pressure. Also, the 1UR-FSE and the 1UR-FE have port injection (the 1UR-FSE also has direct injection). The port injection often eliminates the need for a catch can by using the intake fuel to clean the valves. So for the LS, the catch can won't hurt anything, but it also will likely not make any difference in cleanliness or reducing oil consumption.

you are right . My only reason is that the intake manifold gets super dirty I took apart my intake manifold on my LS clocked at 250,000 miles and it was filled with oil . Since that affects the air mixture . I am waiting on HKS supercharger delivery. So that's why I am looking for catch can ( air oil separator). .

Yo I just got an ls460 and ive been looking everywhere on how to remove the speed limiter my number is 704-912-7018 text me if u can explain this a little more im willing to send money too if u can help.
