^^^ exactly what I said. $15k plus install just for only 100hp gain is not really cost effective.

not only hp gains but an additional 68 ft lbs torque for 15k is not worth it either.

I think the price might include all that pretty carbon fiber. Either way, not worth a 15k price tag. Does anyone know if the kit will include something to remove the govern on the US cars? a 0-60 in 4 seconds is useless if you can only go 130.

Im almost sure you can get the same results with a 150 shot of NOS.

Sure it's a lot of money but there aren't any options besides Nitrous to get any more power for the LS460.

Iv'e been talking with my local speed shop about custom forced induction for the ls460. Not that I have the means to do it, but it would be nice to see what would be required and what it would cost. Would be awesome to have the 1st turbocharged ls460 Like many have said before, there are so many cheaper and more logical options to fast, but it's also nice to be unuiqe

i spoke to a buddy that works at Titan Motorsports and he said the r&d costs alone would reach 70k.. but he was also talking about a 30 - 50%hp increase.. the stuff they did with the supras an now lambos (1200hp) is just mind numbing...but that 15k still sounds steep
