2012 Silverado extended cab 1500 4x4 6.2L
TVS1900 Magnuson Super Charger Kit 6 psi 01-19-60-018-BL
GM 90mm 109 TB

Ground Force 2" drop spindles
2" lowering shackles and remove blocks for a 2/3 drop
GM CK948 20" wheels
Nitto NT420s 285/50-20 tires

Im staying with the canned tune with the sc kit for now and mite do AR LT headers next year and a dyno tune
I was thinking of doing Auto Meter Carbon fiber gauges wide ban A/F, boost and fuel press. I have the money in my account but I need it to go on a vacation in feb so I think im going to hold off for now. Not sure if I should hold off or hope to make the money back to go on the vaca. Im going to FL with my parents and we are taking my truck.
I think this will make a nice daily driver I wont be racing.
$4500

Definitely do a before and after track comparison of the canned tuned vs dyno tune, I bet a custom tune will throw rocks at the canned tune

A canned tune is just to get the truck up and running... so you can go get it tuned

im still waiting on the SC. i was supposed to go on vacation with my dad but it just got canceled so im going to have it installed so I can get the warranty. It will save me the time getting it done and I wont have to worry about it. I can do it my self no problem but if i did blow a motor i would be with out my truck for a long time or would have to take out a loan to replace it with a 7.0L. I also have a bad back. Just had surgery in may.
You have to keep the canned tune in it for the warranty but if i get it dyno tuned they would never know.

Whats the red emblem in the grill? An ss or max decal? Looks like an ss emblem but i cant tell from my phone. Sharp lookin truck tho.
Also how are u liking those nittos? Ive put some miles on mine and they are def. louder then my last set of tires but not bad and really depends on the road quality. Any traction issues? I still havent pushed mine enough but they seem to have better grip.
