Well I know BlownEscalade is going to abuse me mercilessly about this, but I have decided to pull the plug on the S/C install, and instead try and plea my way up to getting a new Denali (that will take some work - but hey - I am putting missus back to work after a 6 year hiatus in the fall).

At the end of the day, the truck is an 02, probably can handle the radix, but what else is going to start going south as it ages further. Plus, while I originally thought the new Denalis were ugly, their look and HP right out of the box is starting to grow on me.

Anyways, thanks to all for you help, sorry i wimped, but I think long run I am making the best move.

Wonder what house improvement project the cash will disappear into now...... NOT!

 

The new Denali will have the better engine and by far a much better trans. Not a terrible choice.

 

Indeed, given that I have too left hands and can't fix my own stuff when it breaks - I love having warranty! And maybe the 6.2 blowers will be tried tested and true by then (although I have no idea how I will justify the need to upgrade and engine with nearly 400 hp stock!)

 

That's no joke.
