Default Blower for LS430?

Anyone know where I could get a low pressure supercharger for my LS? I bet that bottom end would easily hold up to a 5-6 psi boost, and the results would be quite pleasant. If only Lexus had an AMG division...

Not at this time. Something is coming for the SC400, but not the LS430. Do a custom job. My friend can do it for you for $5,500. Turn Key.

There are a few Japanese companies that are within' testing stages of superchargers for the 3UZ-FE 4.3L engine (not sure when/if they will come to the United States unless you would like to import them.

C's has a 5.5L stroker kit as well as a supercharger kit.
TOM's is designing a unit.
Blitz has a dual-supercharger system.
WALD has one as well, but I do not have much information on their Kompressor system.

I'm not sure if there will be any companies in the States that will develop F/I for LS430/GS430/SC430's.

I noticed an ad for the wald kompressor in a Japanese Mag some time ago. I wanted to ask about it ever since. I also haven't been able to find more info on it .

Actually, Lexus or Toyota in this matter, does have a motorsport division called TRD, short for Toyota Racing Development. The thing is TRD doesn't have much for 1UZ-FE, if any.
