Well, without meth/alky/water injection or something that'd up the cost and complexity further... or swapping in low compression pistons, different head gasket, etc which'd again be pretty costly.

5-6 lbs seems to be the most you can safely run on these motors (which is why both the LMS and TOMs kit run 5 and 5.8 respectively)

I just called a few dealers and they all said the same thing.
"HKS will be releasing information about the kit in about a week."
Looks to be a waiting game. On top of that, HKS is currently closed for inventory...

Not to add fuel to the fire of excitement but, notice the small green box appears to house a board and the gray box next to is is HKS's OSC (Oxygen Sensor Controller). I cannot wait for more information to come out on this.
Something look familiar?????

That's pretty much why the LMS supercharger died off as a product. 5-6k for 40ish rwhp. A few folks were brave enough to try it out, but mostly people couldn't see dropping well over $100 per horsepower.
Seems odd another vendor would try pretty much the exact same product for the exact same vehicle when almost nobody bought one the first time around... makes even less sense with the IS-F out now really.
