It seems the instructions don't mention that you need to make sure there is a fuse installed, as shown in my picture. My SS just had a plastic protector cap in place of the fuse. Without the fuse, the terminal that you connect to for (key on) power for the intercooler pump never gets power. No intercooler pump, no intercooling = poor performance. I don't know if all Silverados are missing this fuse, but it seems silly that it is not there. The intercooler pump should run all the time when the key in in the run position. So if you don't hear the pump running, or see the coolant sloshing around, check the power.

This picture shows the truck's fuse box, and highlights the intercooler pump relay (the little black box) the add on fuse (black rubber thing to the far left) and the terminal on the trucks fuse box (silver bolt) and the fuse that must be present for power to get to the terminal (pink fuse)

Make sure you get the factory engine install brackets off of the motor! Front and Rear!

David, what was your 60' on that 13.92@93 run?
I didn't get a full time slip on that run (their printer wasn't printing right), but a later run at 14.056@95.17 had a 60'time of 2.025.

Hope you were able to see the pic, I have a cheapo hosting service, and they go down once and a while. If not, drop me an email, and I can email you the pic.
