TO REGEAR or NOT TO REGEAR

[1SLOW1500]

Not sure what a stall is? What size tires you running and lifted?

Still gonna be a long while before I do that but I'm still leaning blower at the moment. At the point that I put a blower in it then it no longer is a commuter/single vehicle but rather a fun/weekend rig and the MPG is all but worthless.

Now if only they made larger gas tanks…

Stall converter. It bolts to. Your flywheel and connects to the trans. It make the engine speed right up to a set rpm before it locks up and give all the power to the the trans. So when we say 3200rpm, I hit the throttle of the line rather than seeing the rpms climb they shoot right to 3200 where I'm in boost same on up shifts. No out of boost issues.
Have you looked at stock lt4 superchargers?
You can buy them for under $2k

My tires are 295/35/24 on a 24x10 rim they measure 12" wide. And I am lowered 3/5" but have rear air bags to control the rear. Also removed the overload leaf and have traction bars.

Ah ok, good to know. I haven't looked deeply into it but that is another option. Assuming I can get one that hasn't been brutally abused I may go that route.

I'm assuming the lt4 supercharger won't be a direct swap will it? What else would need to be bought?

Adapter plates that convert the head ports to the supercharger ports. But bolts up after that. There is a company making a kit. As there are a bunch of small brackets that mount the tank, exchanger, hoses, ect...
But for the money and a person that is at all handy I would. Just buy the adapters and go. I have seen the superchargers go for $1700 and full kit for $2400.
Understand it will not make huge power but 550 and less is possible. And for a clean look and at 3rd of the price of the magna charger. You would benifit from the lt4 injectors and hpfp. And your in there anyways.
Im a turbo guy but as far as looks and ease of use it is a Un beatable combo.
At the price I'm was thinking of getting one and bolting it on my spare 6.2.

500 is more than enough for me, I dont want a race truck just a fun daily. Itll be going into a regular cab so dont need 800hp or anything. Do you got a link for the company making the kit?

these are the adapters. 

with the good exhaust it adds up. exhaust is $1800. there are a few guys making over 600 on the 5.3L but again fuel is needed at $90 per injector and the pump $$$.

sorry to hijack the thread but you will also need to do a BARO breakout with that. simply harness or you can cut and splice it yourself in a few minutes. But the built in map sensor in the MAF cant read the are right so a external map just reading open air is used.

Yeah I think the SC could still get up there in price. But way more power than the heads cam.
Wonder what the heads cam and install would run? 4k.
