    We did a low compression 383 with heads/cam, we only got 10psi out of that one. We had the largest crank pulley made and the smaller charger pulley installed, oh well.

    Update on the Tahoe: This install sux!

    Got the wrong heat exchanger
    Got the wrong valley pan
    Charger bolts are too long to bolt the charger down
    Charger inlet elbow hits the coolant lines

    When this sh!t happens, you spend more time running around town than actually working on the truck!

    We should be done with the charger today, got the heat exchanger, valley pan, picking up some bolts and the TB oring. We'll dyno, then cam install.

    We'll keep you updated,
    allen

    Doesn't it seem to be that way no matter what you're doing? I have that issue any time that I work on something. Its worse when you buy something for a Silverado that was designed to work on a Tahoe and visa-versa.

    Yeah, I was figuring you would only be able to get about 10 psi out out of it... What was the smallest pulley you put on there?

    Sucks to hear about the install! We all get those snags...I feel ya on running around more than actually working on it...

    I need to check, but it's the smallest magnacharger offers, a 2.8 maybe, not sure.

    almost done!
