as of right now im 32" tires and 4:10 gears. i dont know how much more gear id really wanna go with such a small tire.. ill be screaming down the highway at 10mgp lol.
my dilema is i pull a camper, drag race, and sand drag. runs great on street tires, paddles on the other hand do not spin the way i want... ive been told by a freind that my gm 8.6 can hold 4:88 and that is what he thinks i should do... any input?

Did you get it tuned properly? Did you get the full supercharger kit with the new injectors? There must be something missing with your setup. I'm not sure if the high mileage can be the culprit. Maybe your 1 7/8 headers are eating up some of the power since the 5.3 is a smaller engine and many would say that 1 3/4 headers would be sufficient.
The supercharger you have with supporting mods and tuning on your LH8 should be making well over 400hp. Have you replaced the mechanical fan with an electric one yet? That mod alone will l gain you some serious rwhp and a few mpg.
Let me know if the entire supercharger kit was installed with the proper tuning.

My first question to you is why are your dyno numbers so low? Magnuson made 365 hp on a totally stock 5.3 Colorado with the TVS1900. That's with a stock airbox, stock exhaust manifolds, stock catback, stock transmission/converter. You have headers/exhaust/transmission work done, so I'm really confused.

Thank you for the update. Definitely get the electric fan done if you haven't done so yet. I've read you can gain up to 20 rwhp with that mod. Also 1-2 mpg.
Did you replace the factory airbox? Easy hp gains there, especially if you change to a bigger cone filter.
Other than that it looks like you got things covered.
