WYNJAMMER Supercharger.......
1999 Chevy Tahoe 5.7 L Z71 (Limited)
Well I thought I would do a Quick review about the wynjammer supercharger. First off the Tech support and Customer service was hands down the best from AL the owner at Wynjammer. For someone like me that has came from many years of building NASCAR race cars and trucks AL at wynjammer is full allot of useful knowledge in regards to 5.7 ,4.3, 2.2 Chevy superchargers installs. After talking to Al and going back in forth over the phone numerous times for a couple of weeks debating on what brand of kit to go with I decided to give his a try.
The kit. First off the the front mount supercharger Kit came very well packaged and with a full color step by step instruction manual yep color and a couple of stickers for the beer fridge. After removing all the pieces and spreading them out on the work bench we were ready for install. The installation manual stated 2.5 hrs for install and this was really close to what our end result was .The installation went really smooth (plug and play) other than the typical hose clamp retuning here and there. For the back yard mechanic I would think this would be something as easy as a brake job.
PCM tune. Well I was a little up in the air on this one. After purchasing an EFI LIVE from another tuner and waiting days on end for responses I decided to call Bryan over at PCM 4 Less . What kind I say about Bryan and Keith .Super knowledgeable guys and know ALs kits from numerous installs and dyno runs on 4.3 and the 5.7 in the OHIO area. These guys are super detail orientated guys and respond to a phone call yep phone call not just an email 3-5 days later and will talk things through with you, to help you work through all details . He set me up with an install that he has used in the past for a couple guys here in Denver Colorado at about 5700 feet of elevation.
Let the fun begin (The Drive)
Well the drive started off very smooth and out of the gate ran allot smoother at idle. This install was going on a motor with almost 150000 miles so I was a little excited to see the power gain . Well we then decided to take the red wagon out on to the highway to give it a go. The power was very smooth with little to no lag and tons of improvement over stock (tons) . Well after a quick run I pulled the truck back into the shop just for some adjustments and to see were the plugs were coming in at and they looked really good. So time to go hammer down. Granted the PCM tune was a work bench tune and needs to get on the dyno for some fine tuning but the tune at PCM 4 Less worked really well needless to say. So after going out and receiving a smile from ear to ear, I was super excited on the end results.
Well for the end results, if you want a supercharger and your on a budget this supercharger is not cheaply built hands down is worth it buy far and you can spend the other 4 grand on some fun stuff headers motor rebuild what ever. Would I say I would do this again I would say YES with out a doubt and actually I went home and started looking on Craigslist for a 2 door s10 to build for the strip and most definitely a Wynjammer Supercharger for install.
You cant hate it unless you know the TRUTH
