I just want to know how it pull once it all sorted out. I want to do the same thing you did. My 6.2 denali is almost paid off and I pull a 7,200 pound wake boat now. But I want a new boat that will weight 8,200 pounds. And I can't afford or don't want to afford a new boat payment and a new truck payment. So to hold me over I want more power in what I have with no payment!!!!

It pulls great. Your 6.2 will gain more power than my 5.3 did.
before I slowed to 35 mph up the mountain. It would down shift at 45 and rpm would scream.
Now thanks to Boost District and Black Bear Performance I pull the mountain with more load at highway speed. In 3rd not screaming RPM.

I still need more gear. The truck came with 28 inch tall tires. I now have 32s with 3.73 gears. I am adding a 2 inch body lift on the cab and going 35s so I need Moore gear.

So hit up Boost District and you will love it.

That was my big question with these swaps is how well it will tow in the mountains. How much boost are you running? I assume you are just running premium fuel? What is your fuel mileage difference before and after the supercharger?

I am super happy with the results. Towing is alot better and easier. Boost is a guess right now I guess 8 to 10 psi. I will install the boost gauge this week end.

Milage before is 16 to 18 rarely. Now daily driving like Gramps 14 to 15 mpg. Towing is 6.6mpg all day long average up the mountain.

The LSA has a hugh bypass butterfly. So it is easy to stay off the boost. But the 2-3 shift is steep and it pulls hard if I keep the gas pedal in the same spot. Kinda fun, but I learned to ease off on that shift.

I had black bear put the torque management back in. With out it I was doing 4x4 burn outs!
