The only issue I can think of that MAY pose a slight problem between a GS430 and SC430 setup is the intercooler piping as the front end of the cars are not the same. The SC being shorter and more slanted. Anything is possible though with enough effort, time, and money.
I have not heard much on the Blitz setup and what has come this way has not been good in regards to hp for the price.

forced
all the forced induction "kits" give little bad for the buck on the average 40-50 hp for 10-11K. If you just want quick pick up a smart Nitros system would be the easiest and give you the most power. You could add about 120-150 hp for a few thousand bucks. I am talking about the systems that will inject more nitros as you push down on the gas. They also can be turned off for regular driving.

Another option is the CryO2 System by DEI http://www.designengineering.com/pro...asp?m=sc&cid=1
Of course it does not add as much power as NOX or a FI, but on the other hand: it is much safer and you will get a little more power, especially in hot areas...
Above this have a closer look right here: http://www.designengineering.com/pro...sp?m=sp&pid=33
As you know heat is one of the No1power killer when it comes from the outside
I ordered some products from DEI let you know when they installed.

pearlpower chime in? lee ,we need you
Thanks for the vote of confidence guys.
It has been a few years, but as I recall my final numbers were a tad over 400rwhp-like 405 under very good conditions which placed the GS at a tad over 500crank HP. I would have to dig up the dyno sheet. My very first dyno was around 331rwhp I believe for a badly tuned run. Then it went to 350+ once tuned. Then took off from there with smaller (higher boost) pulleys with alot of belt slip. I did not stay at the high boost setting long as I kept eating drive belts so I settled around 350-360rwhp.
A SC setup with just the 310 injectors and low boost should give over 300rwhp easy -so around 375hp+ at the crank which is not bad for under 5k. I would not try the high boost setup on a stock SC/GS430 motor though. Another SC owner here busted a piston land though he was running NOS on top of boost. I will probably S/C this car shortly with a goal of around a reliable 400 crank hp. Enough for any convertible in my book.
I still have some of the early dyno .mpgs on the GS if anyone is interested. Let's just say I never lost a run with the high boost setting. Not even to a few Z06's, a GT3 Carrera, and easily destroyed many M3's.
I find I do not drive the SC the same as I did the GS. I just like styling I guess ,but it is good to have all of the power at your feet.
