Congrats Huitt! Good job!

I remember what that feel was the first time I drove off after having the supercharger installed, it was awesome. You'll keep getting that urge to get more and more power.

Are you going to Troyer to get your tune done on the dyno? It might be worth it to look into a custom tune if you have a reputable shop in your area.

I cant get over the throttle response and the feel of power and I already want more . Niel over at TP told me how to set up the bypass to be vacuum acuated instead of computer controlled until I get there tunes, then it will go back to computer controlled. Time for that 2lb lower upgrade pully and TP tunes. I should of done this sooner, now this is how these trucks should of came from the factory.

Great post man!

Quick question... Where is the oil feed lines for the blower? Where do they mount? How was that process? Did you have to tap the oil pan or valve cover?

What lubricates the blower itself? Does it need oil at all?

I don't know... I do know that centrifugal superchargers need oil to operate..

ONE04FX4 is right. The positive displacement blowers are self contained on the oiling so there are no oil lines that need to be run. That makes installing a little easyer than a centrifigual setup.


The wife took it for a spin and laid two black marks in front of the house then fish tailed it powering out of a corner.....sheesh you watch she will want one next.....
