Default (any) Supercharged UCF30/UCF31?

Does anyone on here have their 430 supercharged... I've been trying to find pics of the 3UZ supercharged but i can only find them supercharged in mx83 cressidas... i found this pic below but this car seems like the older LS400... The windows are just like the older ones

That is a 95-00 LS400 with the LS430 conversion kit on it. I hate those.

What did that car have to do with the Supercharger, btw?

The only company I know of that makes superchargers for the LS430's are Blitz, Trust, Wald and Tom's.

Try searching those but you may not find any info on it (other than the Tom's), on the website.

It's a kit used to convert the front and rear of the LS400 into a LS430. It is not worth the money, since you would be spending more on parts for the conversion rather than going out and buying the newer LS430.

12K is nothing compared to what S/C's used to cost on the M3. Mine in total costed about 16k without the exhaust or clutch. but i did have 525 hp!
