Default My 2011 5.3 is supercharged with pics.

I finally got the ***** to go ahead and bolt on the Magnusen supercharger this weekend myself. And it was a piece of cake. The truck now has 7500 miles and runs like a champ. Looking to put a new cam in the near future and do something with this crappy 6 speed transmission that does't know what gear it wants to be in. Anyway enjoy

A tune will go a long ways towards making the trans feel a lot better. Get some cleaned up pics of your truck, it looks good dirty

Nice job bud! Clean install/engine bay!

Sweet truck too man!

My work truck has the 6 speed and i find if i manually shift it or at least lock out 6th gear unless on highway it runs/performs sooo much better!

Unlike most people I use the **** out of my truck. If I clean it, it only last a day. I drive/ranch/hunt on 22,000 acres here in Texas and there is not one paved road on it. If I wanted to look good I would of posted in the show and shine section and dropped the front drive shaft for more power.

Its tuned with the shitty SCT tune from Magnusen. I have an appointment with Nelson for the real tune, we will see what they can do for it.

You have any contact between your rear wheel well and tires? It looks pretty close, but then again, the picture could just be deceiving.

Like a dream. The final drive on a 6 speed is .67. That puts me at 2050 at 70 mph and 14 mpg. New technology ain't it great.
