Default Supercharging GS430?

Is it realistic to supercharge a stock GS430? Will it still be reliable? How much $$$ would it cost?

I'm contemplating supercharing my gs, as long as it can be done for reasonalbe amount of money, without sacrificing reliability and not having to lose any features (AC, etc).

You don't lose any features supercharging the GS. It is very much worth it - expect to end up spending around $6500 when it is all said and done.

Apart from maybe a broken belt reliabilty should not really be a problem from what I have read.
