Looks like you are on the right road. What is the LSA on the cam?

114+4... should be decent for F.I.

Right now I've got the 212/218 with 114+4 with the XER lobe profile. The cam on the way has the XE profile.. not too sure what the difference is althought ppl do talk about it..

I'll see how the cam fairs out once I install the supercharger.. I might even look into a reverse split down the line...

People should know that I want to keep this yukon as a nice weekend warrior... no one races from 0 where I'm at, its always 40kph or higher, so the need for a magnacharger might not be what im looking for...

I need something that can keep pulling me up to my redline.. the maggies dyno charts look good, but seems to fall off round top...

anyone here with a dyno of a procharger/vortech?? Thos i'm sure look like a turbo dyno, non stop power all the way to redline...

plus if getting my yukon hauling from a stand still, Id have already installed a torque convertor...but there isn't really much need..

The vortech and procharger dynos wont look like a turbo dyno as they need rpm to build boost, a turbo needs load.

A Procharger P1SC will get into boost 1psi (105kpa) at about 2600rpm and climb to a little over 10psi (178kpa) at 6000rpm. I was looking at a HP Tuners Scan from a friends SS with a 6.0 LQ9 in it with a P1SC. I could send you the scan if you like. This was done with there crappy little vacuum bypass valve a better adjustable valve would bring on boost a little sooner.

that 0-60mph of 4.x seconds looks good to me ....

i just want something that would haul ***, something that would scare the **** outta vettes, stangs, camaro pulling up next to me.......

I read with the maggie id be limited to around 500hp.... if i wanted to add a 50shot of n2o, would i need the meth injection as well??? my IATs even now during the winter are around 25*C....during the summer I run 55*C easily.....

The maggie would be the way to go for a heavy truck, like stated.. A procharger is good if you want to run a big stall, shift a lil higher.. So if you want to run a fairly big stall, then a procharger would do you good also...
