Mods include tsp cam, stainless works headers, stainless works dual exhaust, custom cold air kit, adm 2.3 pulley, ported blower by fasterproms, lt4 fuel pump and injectors, 95mm zr1 throttle body, e85, alky control kit, innovators west 10% overdrive pulley and tuning was done by fasterproms. Future mods will be ported throttle body, dual nozzle alky control, cnc tsp heads, thermal reduction plates, 160 stat, heat expansion tank, and maybe an up graded intake fuel
pump.

Nice These kits are becoming very popular. I was thinking for the price of the supercharger I may pick out up and see that it takes to bolt it to my LT1 short block.

Did you do the install the your self. I watched all the video's fasterproms did for the LT4 blower on his wife's escalade. I'm just not sure if somebody like me with limited experience can do it.

Yeah I did it myself but I have my own performance shop. If u take ur time I believe anyone can do the swap. To me the really only hard part was mount the supercharger lid. The rear bolts are hard to get to. I had to jack up on the passenger body mount bolt to raise it up some. Then a 10mm gear wrench and my skinny arm had to fight to get the back bolts tightened.

Thanks for the answer. I can do stuff like headers, leveling kits and I've done body lifts and maintenance stuff. But never tackled a supercharger before.
Great results by the way. It seems like guys with the 2.9 whipples aren't getting those numbers

I only have 620ish rwhp at more boost but less cost $3000. I will break the motor before I need any lower work.

I thought it was 1500 to 1800 for the blower then 2000 for the kit. Still cheaper but not as cheap as your talking about. I Just got a 2014 6.2 so that’s why I’m so interacted in the LT4

I'm pretty sure a 2.9 will do 700-800 np with a good combo but not many are pushing them at all. Mine has a 4 3/8 pulley lol, If the LT4 setup would've been available as a bolt on kit (what I needed) I can assure you it would've been my choice for sure. 634/599 are some damn healthy #'s and you sure can't argue with the price. Thing is I likely won't turn it up to more than that even in the future so LT4 is almost a no brainer imo for a 5.3 especially. Congrats on a badass setup! I'll be watching this. Now take that thing to the track!
