Default The Tahoe is about to be Radix'ed

So I think I finally have everything I need now. The Cts-v intercooler came yesterday... and it is huge! So pumped now! Big thanks to David at Magnacharger and Tony (Blown 364) for helping me out with ordering everything and giving me a great price.

The intercooler



My middle bedroom now (not even including the s/c and brackets):



The s/c is going on the weekend of August 8th. Matt (tootall), some friends and I are hoping to knock it out in a day, then it goes over to Charlie for some tuning. I'll post up pics and stuff here of the install.

If anyone near Houston wants to help or just spectate the weekend of Aug 8th, shoot me a PM, the more the merrier.

You are gonna love it. The added torque is really going to make that heavy Tahoe wake up.

Haha, I know, I just wish the grown-up toys weren't so expensive... why can't I just get by with matchbox cars anymore?

Taking her to the dyno tomorrow for a "before" pull... we'll see what she's got in her.

Also bringing along a stock TB to throw on there so I can do a side-by-side comparo with the ported one that's on there now. Hopefully this can give some resolution as to whether or not it gives you any actual gains.
