Finally finished the install. Had few things to modify but wasn't that big of a deal. Fired it up yesterday and it started up fine. This am though it had a rough time starting, called my tuning guy to set up a appointment to get it on the dyno to make sure things are good and a little tweeking here and there. Will post the numbers as soon as I get them. All in all I like the instant boost and mine was hitting 7.5 lbs of boost on my first WOT. Will see what the dyno says. Here are some pics of the finished insall.

Boost comes on real quick too. Tried calling my tuner guy, but he doesn't answer his phone 
I want to drive this truck. Plus my boat is ready for its test run at the river, I also had it FI with a Whipple 
Yes FI is addicting what can I say

Well got my truck to the dyno guy and all is good The numbers are 320 hp and 340 ft lbs torque. Peak torque was at 2800 rpms right where I want it and making around 7.5 lbs of boost. I love it. A lot better numbers than the Procharger was making for me. I'm glad all was good. Still having a cold start issue. Put a mechanical gauge last night and pressured it up then turn it off and checked it this am and it was at 15 lbs. Losing pressure, thinking fuel pumps not holding and need a check valve in between. Not leaking any where outside so I'm thinking it's internal. Don't think it the injectors cause they are new. Process of elimination. Any ideas from you guys will be great.

It would if the power didn't have to go through a transfer case for 4 wheel drive and 35'' tall tires. This is also a stock 5.3 with only bolt on parts and no internals modification. Without the supercharger it was making only 220 hp to the wheels and to the flywheel it was at 285 hp. 2002 5.3L were pretty weak in the hp dept.

Took the idea from another member here Supersub and liked the idea of keeping the heat from the engine or some of it away from the upper manifold where the intercooler is in the blower. I made it out of phenolic grade CE it is used as a heat insulation. Thats all.
