Default 460hp 4.3 v6

Check it out guys. This 4.3 with a Torqstorm Supercharger made almost 500hp.

A gain of over 200 hp!

Oh boy! That would be fantastic on my 4.3l boat! Do you have any pics from the front of the engine and does the blow off valve have to be positioned straight up?

That would be pretty neat. The bov can be positioned any way. It doesnt care.

Would that fit under the hood of a 2000 S-10 Xtreme ?
It's fuel injected with a T/B.

This test was done with our sbc kit just bolted to a 4.3 to see what kind of power it could produce. In order to use this kit on that vehicle there would need to be some changes to the accessory drive setup. And relocating or deleting the ac compressor.

This motor had some modicifactions. Should be a very similar platform. I am not certain on the generations of the 4.3. There may be more information on here that may help.
