how much was the supercharger? was it a noticeable increase in power? can you get pulleys that produce more boost? did it help, hurt, or leave the fuel mileage the same? would you recommend it on a work truck? we have a 1995 suburban K2500 as a tow rig/ work horse, and im about to get a vortec 454, or vortec 496 to swap into it, but first im going to tear it down to the block, the goal is 500HP, and considering i know enough people to get parts cheap, it is very possible... should be fun...
@smithkid1996 The kit was used and was missing many components, in the end was around $4000 with a few extras. This was a Lysholm 1600cc compressor, it does not have a smaller pulley available, however if it had been a 2300cc Lysholm, there are smaller available. It will tow like mad with a supercharger but will use excessive amounts of fuel, for daily driving its about the same.
@rangoco Running Banks Full Length Torque Tube Headers, no cats, then goes from dual 2.75" into 4" collector, then to a dynomax 4" ultra flow race muffler, mandrel bent 4" tailpipe with a 6" MBRP tip.

What is your setup for exhaust? Headers, mufflers? Love that sound. Building my Crewcab right now.

Nice #'s So 475ftlbs of torque at the wheels is about 560@ the crank would be my guess.
