Default Round 2: Supercharged Crew Cab

Just got this beast from the shop today. Going to start a slow install over the next 2-3 days. Should be completed by Sunday (weather pending) and then she's off to the tranny shop to get the new transmission built.

Anyhow, specs are the standard TVS1900 Radix with 90mm Throttle Body plate and (requested) 8-9 psi pulley. I took everything out of the box and checked it out. Definetly alot happier with this setup. Looks like its a factory made piece that belongs under the hood, not all blinged out and polished. Magnacharger does one hell of a job making a completed kit, so props go out to them!

Also ordered up a set of Stainless Works Headers and mating them up to a 3" Offroad Y-Pipe. Going to see how the cat delete sounds with the Corsa Touring muffler. If its decent, I'll keep it, if not, I'll run high flow cats.

Anyhow, here are some pics of the new arrival:

thanks guys. I've been indecisive in the past and have jumped the gun before, but I feel pretty confident that this is the ideal setup for my truck. I keep looking at this thing and its truly an amazing blower! The black really does it justice!

Hahahaha... love the bling comments

I agree with what youre doing... if youre gonna make it look OEM, then do it 100%... if youre gonna do bling, do it 100%... i dont like a mix of the two - looks half done.

Looking good

TurboEscalade is the new owner of the old charger. A maggie is in my wife's future, just not right now.

With that blower why not get a Lingenfelter GT 2-3 instead of the LS6 cam? The GT cam seems to make incredible power with a blower and the LS6 does better with a turbo
