sounds cool, give more details.

do you have a boost gauge and if so how much boost are you seeing?

any before dyno numbers?

any other mods besides blower kit?

is that a 2wd tahoe or 4wd, if 4wd does it have the auto 4wd?

I don't have a boost gauge yet.Tahoe is 2wd and magnacharger is supposed to make 7.5lbs boost.I've already found an quick change pulley setup.

Install is a pain in the ***.I paid an ASE machanic to do the install. Because magnacharger offers a 36 month 36000 mile powertrain warranty with kit for $200.00.Mechanic took 2 1/2 days to do the install. I actually think it wood take 2 do it your selfers about 8 to 10 hrs.Intake with supercharger installed weighs 83lbs.so you do need another set of hands.

A gain of 90rwhp/110rwtq, not bad, but I thought they would be a little more. Was your converter locked during this run? Post some pics if you have any.

Convertor was not locked also very high humidity not ideal dyno conditions.Truck runs like a real beast.
