I will need to use a Silverado setup, they don't make a Colly setup.
it's going to be a tight fit, there's not a lot of room to work with.
truck specs in sig. eng is a LH9 w/799 heads
You should be able to run the HoB dedicated drive on the passenger side.

Trailblazer SS ProCharger Supercharger Bracket-Only System - House of Boost :: We Make Fast Stuff FasterŽ - (Powered by CubeCart)

I ran this bracket on my 2008 5.3L truck, with my own China intercooler, and tubing.
Bolted right on, no drama. And TBSS guys have been using it up to over 1000rwhp, and big F-1R's.


Another guy runs it on his 5.3L swapped blazer with modifications to lower the main bracket down a little bit. If hood clearance is an issue, that might be the solution.

There was a discussion over on the bullet and someone asked me what my secret was for almost never having belt issues with the procharger stuff. I felt like my response was well served over here as well. This is what I wrote:

There is no secret.......just attention to detail.

Perfect pulley alignment, belt tension, bracket rigidity and BOV capacity. 99% of the people complaining about belt issues when running a procharger, don't spend the effort to perfect those four things.

I post on performancetrucks.net daily and have been on that site since 2006. It's very much a street oriented site so almost any supercharged combo talked about over there is going to be a serpentine belt. Prochargers have a very bad reputation on that site and just about every guy that has tried the procharger route eventually ends up going turbo b/c they have belt issues. It is almost exclusively blamed on the procharger kit as no one ever personally takes the blame for having belt issues, when 99% of the time is the users fault, not the kit.

Default P/C brackets

checked out HoB site, the brackets are awesome, but i almost
choked on the price. $1550.00 bucks. they work with
almost all the head Pro Charger head units. so it looks like i could
put my own kit together

Not true, even some guys with cog drives can't figure out why their belt keeps walking off. It's usually the result of too much tension, cog belts shrink when they heat up pulling the blower forward causing them to walk off.

I agree with Blown06, 99% of people don't address the real problem before jumping ship.

I don't think that it is so much the belt shrinking as it is the motor expanding.
