supercharged??

[xjayx]

Anyone with a nnbs supercharged yet, I was looking at the magnasun supercharger and was wondering if its worth the money. Anyone have any issues with this kit?

heve read good things about procharger

You cannot go wrong with Magnason...a TVS1900 is all you will need, but realize that you will need all the supporting mods to go with it along with a fully built transmission...so with the price of the blower and everything else you'll be looking at about $10k. Just throwing a sc on a stock truck and driveline will last a little while, but it's not "if" you will start to break things, its "when".

The driveshafts in these NNBS's are crap, I bet you'll twist and snap it within 500 miles if you supercharge it.

We have Magnachargers on all our DDs, great complete kits. We have a Radix, a TVS 1900 and a TVS 2300, all different engines, no issues.

$10K? Holy crap...

I didn't even drop that much on mine...

dammm a fully built tranny?!?! guess im gonna have to scratch that SC plan out the door.

GTR High Performance has a supercharger on his 07.

lol, you don't need a fully built transmission. A shift kit and some billet servos will do just fine. Unless you plan on dogging the shit out of the truck, you'll be ok. My stock transmission was fine with my tvs1900 and a host of mods (LS7 TB, Headers, Exhaust, intake, tune, etc...).

When we blow the Burban, im only doing a shift kit and billet servo on it. We're only blowing it for added towing power and to get the beast up to speed a little quicker.

Vortech Lysholm Twin Screw S.C. on my 2007 Tahoe

GTR High Performance has a supercharger on his 07.

Yup,

We've got a Vortech/Lysholm Twin Screw Supercharger on our 2007 Tahoe... it freakin' rocks too. Great power and solid gas-mileage! We dyno-tested it with just a Gibson cat-back, K&N FIPK cold air, and the Vortech/Lysholm supercharger system and i believe it made 398 rear wheel horsepower... up from the 262 rear wheel horsepower prior to the s.c. system! See our youtube channel at youtube.com/gtrhipo for the dyno video and let me know if any ?s or interested in a price quote.

SS and GTR, what kind of tune (dyno, EFI, etc.) was completed. Also just curious regarding the change in gas mileage.

Thanks!

I would recommend at least a shift kit on the transmissions with boost.

I ran 11psi on my Tahoe with the only mod to the tranny being a Vette Servo, and she still ran great. I think that was just a fluke! We have a TVS1900 on the TBSS with no transmission mods, no issues, and a TVS2300 on the Silverado SS with a Trans Go HD2 and servos, with no issues.

Blackbear tuned before and after all 3 of my superchargers...lol.

No significant change in gas mileage. Gas mileage gets effected once you get into boost. If you just drive normally, there is no change, once you get into boost, it'll suck gas.

The biggest change on my truck was when I put the 4.10s in it. Then I ate gas like a champ.

ok so i visited the lysholm website, and they are doing R&D for GM and Chevy trucks and SUVs. Said to email them and you could get the kit for $2500 (regular price $6200). There is a dealer in town, think i should partake?

Hey Zed 71,

... In my case, the truck is totally stock except for the cat-back muffler kit and the K&N kit... so it worked out that the Vortech supplied "handheld computer tuner" was just fine. We used dyno tested and logged it and decided that it seemed solid for now. The gas mileage dropped a tiny bit... we used to get about 16 to 17 mpg city and now its about 14 to 15 mpg city... but waaaay faster!

Thanks for all the responses.

UofM go for it!

Hi everyone,
I have 2009 LT, and I am interested to power-up my Tahoe. I don't want to jump all the way to SuperCharged Tahoe (though I love to).
I enjoyed watching GTR's YouTube, but I need step by step guide to do things.
Thanks

 

[sanddperformance]

you could buy a 6.2 and put a camshaft in and have the heads ported and tuned for under 10k and you would have a ton of power

Hello,

I'd suggest going with a cold air system and a nice cat-back exhaust kit and an aftermarket programmer as a starting point.... or you could just save up and then install a supercharger!!

h'mm.......my 07 2500 suburban (ok I started with a 6.0) made pretty good numbers with a custom made paxton kit.

and I didn't blow out the driveshafts......they buried the 120 speedo roadtesting it. These guys specialize in vettes, but called me up to use my truck to design the kit.
