My Supercharged 5.3L 2020 Silverado

Did you get the transmission tuned as well or just the PCM?

$8.5k 

PCM was sent to HP Tuners, they unlock it and send it back, then ProCharger sends the tune files and you load them through your pc. 
I shipped it on a Monday, arived to HP tuners on a Wednesday and they shipped it back on a Friday aternoon. 

 

Absolutely everything works. But the car will not start at the first press of the start engine (starts at the second press). You need to take if yo someone (dealer, mechanic, yourself) with an MDI2 tool and SPS suscription. I did it myself and I am not a mechanic. My local dealer sucks and was lost on what needed to be done. 

What exactly did you have to do with the mdI2? I just ordered a procharger myself. Was hoping the hp tune would be all I needed for the truck to work fine. I have no experience in using a mdI2 but very willing to learn. 
Also If day you added a cat back or cai to your truck can you change parameters with the hp tuner they sent with the kit? Thanks man.

Truck looks unreal btw

any dyno numbers? send some videos of idle and acceleration please. I had a Procharger P1SC on my 2001 Silverado 5.3 back in 2001 and I'm considering one for my 2020 Trailboss 6.2.....

Did you have your hood scoop painted or were you able to order already color matched?

 

Congrats on going boosted. It's a lot of fun. Ran 682hp at the wheels on my last mustang.

What tunes did you go with? 93 octane, E-85? You can usually pick up considerable more HP running E-85 provided the tuner has the ability.

I had the K&N Cai and just reverted back to the system that comes with the procharger. It took 7 tune attempts to get my truck correctly working but the guys from Procharger are good. I guess they now have the correct parameters for future trucks. I do not have any CEL on. 

 

The MDI2 I bought from amazon (a bit expensive). There is a Chinese version but I decided to go with the original one. You actually do not need one if your dealer has a clue about things... (not my case). It is only for the truck to start the engine on the 1st push of the button instead of doing it 2 times each time. If you need more details I will be happy to help.

I had it painted locally, just by giving the color code.

I live abroad, so locally I get 95 octane.

Stock exhaust? Would opening things up out back make much of a difference?

It would, obviously adding more air means exiting air is just as important.

I wanna put a blower on my 6.2 so badly but I've has it for less than 2 months and don't wanna lose my warranty just yet

The scoop is just because I like the way it looks. It may be removed anytime. It installs with a strong double sided tape
 

the light bar is a must for these trucks. The original hi-low beam is very bad. 
I did install the switch on the right side, which I feel is much easier to reach while driving:

 

Can you share more info about the LED Bar?  Where did you get it? Wiring? Thanks
