Default ls 460 Super Charger?

My father says he found a guy who has SC's for our cars. It sounds a bit shady as most of the bigger guys have none for sale. I know these cars are "full on" left stock. I wouldn't mind seeing one super charged if the old man wants too. But I want to make sure he does not get hosed by some guy butchering his current masterpiece. Anyone know if they are in production? And by someone reliable?

I don't think there's anything out there for the LS, just yet... The 460 is a brand new engine, not a re-stroked or re-bored 430 V8, so it will take time but something may surface eventually. Anything out there may be an adaptation of the previous GS kit, so it goes without saying, "Caveat Emptor". Previously, on the GS430, there were a couple of kits available, as indicated here:

A GS430 has been tuned by Trust who have fitted the GS430 with supercharger, uprated brakes and 19-inch alloy wheels along with a range of cool in-car-equipment.

Fellow Japanese company Blitz has also got its hands on a Lexus GS430.

The Tokyo tuners have fitted a Blitz supercharger to the GS430 upping power from 290bhp to 363bhp.
