Still in development bud. Guy at bullet was just showing me this pic with the HVT1900 (on the 3UZ...) for reference.
I'm slowly picking their brains for more and more info.

My interest is piqued. Wonder how this will compare to the other kits.

Probably way to expensive to make it worth it. But let's give them the benefit of the doubt. That supercharger alone has got to be atleast four grand. plus they'll probably ask atleast 1500 for the manifold. etc...........

Yes sir you are correct. the kit will probably be in that price range (other kits from them are around $2000 and up). However, just like with the other kits they have available (budget kits they call em'..lol) you will be able to use different (roots/screw) chargers, more specifically used GM M90's Ford 112's etc.
This would be well worth it if the overall cost stays low.

bullet cars in australia sells a 2uz vvti supercharger manifold that will fit on our cars. it would bolt right on and you can buy one of their top plates that go with a m112 supercharger like the one i use. only problem is, it sits at 5 1/2 inches tall not including the supercharger. so if your willing to cut a hole in your hood and fit a bad *** hood scoop than you can get the manifold from them for 1200 than go buy the supercharger and side intake pipe. but if your trying to keep stock hood than that 2uz manifold goes out the window.

If this only adds 100whp for $10-15k then just forget about it.

I've had my GS430 for several years, don't want to sell it because I love this car, but even I will never justify paying that much money. It just doesn't make sense, go GTE and single turbo with built auto for $15k.
