I recently bought a used engine for my 99 HOE it's a same year motor out of a suburban it comes with a Carroll supercharging supercharger . I find it weird it's a huge charger says "Mach 2" I really don't know much about them. It's not intercooled . Pipes only connect to throttle body an air filter box . Not muh wiring to it . Looks like a plug and play or should I say bolt on and go kit . Anybody have any thoughts To it ?

Looks a lot like a Pro charger.
Try it and see how it runs. if it's not inter cooled try and keep the boost under 8psi. You start to lose efficiency with the higher boost because your just blowing hot air.

Used to be carrollsuperchargers.com but now you can find them at http://www.blowerworks.net/
He originally started out playing with 3rd gen Firebirds/Camaros IIRC, but now is pretty big in the Vette community. I know Carroll is popular among Dodge V10 guys, too.
I've never heard of one on a Vortec 350 though... I'm sure if you call or email they'd give you more info.

They generally are around 6-8 psi with a procharger. They are also typically not plug and play. Sometimes requiring different injectors brackets fuel pressure regulators and a tune to run correctly. If you only have the procharger itself it would be much simpler to find a full kit and do it yourself rather than having a shop figure out what else it needs to run it and doing the tune.
I was curious on trying to find how the tube system ran to procharger like meaning which outlet do you run to the throttle body because it seems set up almost backwards with the center outlet running to the throttle body and the outer outlet to the airfilter

It's not really a supercharger but it's also not really a turbo. Kind of a wierd setup to begin with but for those only ever looking for that 6-8 psi of boost. It also doesn't require the amount of work as a supercharger or turbo setup and doesn't generate the intake heat as a turbo. Hence why most procharger kits have the option of with or without an intercooler.
Procharger made successful transplant into 92 mustang 5.0 bored .30 over, new piston + rings, pro comp cam with rollers, gt40 intake, 24lb injectors. Starts and runs fine but think it might new slightly bigger injectors or a BAP. Waiting on new tube system with a blow off vavle
