Doesn't your Silverado or Sierra deserve a supercharger?

Street Legal Performance now has SLP Supercharges models to fit all 2014-16 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra with either the 5.3-liter V8 or 6.2-liter V8. SLP claims that the 6.2L engine sees an increase of 170 hp to a total of 590, and the 5.3L is boosted by 165 hp to a total of 520. Like all boosted engines, torque also increases dramatically.

SLP claims its four-lobe design with 160 degrees of twist has vastly cooler discharge temps than competitive twin screw designs, as well as a higher volumetric capacity, higher operating speeds, and a smoother, more efficient flow of air into the engine. The company also claims that NVH levels are better than with other designs. Unlike turbocharged engines, SLP points to superchargers' much faster throttle response (since the boost is always on). Fans of the Camaro ZL1 and Caddy CTS-V will recognize that SLP's design starts with Eaton’s TVS technology rotating assembly to deliver more power and better fuel economy in a smaller package.

Please give me $10k to make this happen.

I'd rather have an Erod LSA!

Does installation affect warranty? I looked through the .pdf and they mention the throttle body but does direct injeciton have a throttle body? Just want to insure instructions are for the correct truck.

Glad you posted this one.

Yep, I mentioned the SLP package about a month ago. I think we ALL deserve it!

They go on to mention that you get a full 36/36 warranty.

Thing is, SLP also offers a 'tune' for your 5.3 or 6.2, in more than one stage actually. This is something that I've spoke about with my service writer, as NOW the moment you drive into a dealership and you have a 'tune' in your truck you've voided the warranty. But the SLP package GIVES you a warranty. Me thinks I need to check more into this deal. ;-) Considering I had a Diablo tuner in my cart when I ordered the truck, but didn't pull the trigger because there is no WAY I'm about to void the warranty on a $60,000 truck!
