Thanks,

I sold a 1000 HP Trans Am for this and dont have any regrets yet. The TA made cover on the April 2012 issue of GM High Tech Performance.

Funny kill story.

Last Saturday my wife and I were just driving around and this guy in a new SRT Challanger was messing around and driving like an idiot. Needless to say that we ended up at the light and I railed him by 4 car lengths to 120 MPH. Not to bad for this pig and I still have not done my other mods.

Cant wait for the rims and brakes. I also got the 3.25 SC pulley from Lysholm so I should be putting the meth, pulley and headers on shortly. Be interesting to see what the gain will be.

Sweet ride with impressive numbers...

What do you think of the tranny? Any planned upgrades in the tranny or convertor? I had a fully built sun coast IV with a 1058 convertor in my '08 duramax made a world of difference, although I was only pushing 500 hp not a 1000 hp like your TA! I'm thinking my hoe would respond better with some tranny upgrades. Keep us posted.

I have a precision industries converter that is on the way 2400 stall. We have been working on the trans tune for about 2 months now. I think we have it about perfect.

Talking with RPM Transmissions they said the trans should hold fine to about 550 to 600 rwhp with the weight of the truck.

:chicken: Tranny might be alright, but axles etc might not like it...

How you liking the new blower Leart??

Like the original poster stated...i love the driveability and torque it makes...Justin did an amazing job getting the tune right on the first time...i might have to clean up the trans shifting a lil bit, but i 100% can say truck drives just like it did stock, other than the little whine and extra torque it makes...

So, I was reading the install instructions.... and it looks like there is a half inch body lift for the front of a Tahoe required. It is not required on trucks. I didn't know there was a difference. I guess it is for cowl clearance? Did you install that? And how is the clearance for the blower?

I just got a 2010 Tahoe and was about to do a eibach 2/3 kit, wheels, and this blower kit, but it sucks that I will be taking it down 2 inches and up 0.5.

I just showed this thread to the wife and she said she wants one for her 2007 Hoe :emotions122:

Now to figure out if we get the Lysholm kit or the Magnacharger kit, I think it will come down to money lol.
