HKS Supercharged 350Z

With a retail price of $6495, the GT supercharger kit should be within reach for a high percentage of VQ owners. Considering the kit includes the intercooler, engine management, intake, upgraded fuel pump and other necessary components, it's a reasonable package. Should the pending CARB exemption go through, the deal would only become sweeter.

Don't worry, non-VQ owners. HKS is preparing to release kits for several more applications in the near future. Additionally, pro-kits are being planned for "off-road or racing" purposes. Finally, for the traditional big power HKS fans, there is a mega-sized GT supercharger currently in development. When those hit the drifting and time attack communities, things could get really interesting.
