Huitt, dont those 'swivel' (for lack of better words) in the front with only a single bolt??

Also, my exhaust is out the side like yours...no problems with the Tbars hitting the exhaust?

Got the blower done a few hours ago. I've been test driving it and changing the tune for my tire sizes and gears to get the speedo right.

Having problems with the tune. I don't like the way it shifts. The downshifting is not the way I like it... doesn't really "Do what I tell it".

And somthing wierd is happening at around 3000RPM. When I get on it on the highway, it kinda craps out in the power department at about 3000 and then picks up again.. Hard to describe.... But holy cow, 110 MPH comes up REAL fast now. I drove it once and then went back home and fixed the speedo... So far I'm loving it.

I'm gonna give Troyer Perf a call in the morning... schedule a trip over there REAL soon. 8 hours, but worth it.

I'll see what I can do. Like I said... It's not driving right. Shifting funny and studdering at around 3000. There was some slight detonation once while I was on the highway under heavy acceleration, but I haven't heard any since.. Kinda weird.

Maybe just because it is in the learning phase? that would be my guess. 'Grats on getting that finished, must be a real treat...especially after doing it all yourself

It was pretty straight foward and pretty easy. I actually did it twice on my truck. I had to remove the entire blower to fix a metal intercooler hose. Took it off and up to a muffler shop. They welded the hole closed and I was set. There was a hole in the pipe where a metal bracket was welded on it at. I wish Trilogy had noticed this before they shipped it out. Would have saved me about 5 hours.

I'm excited Khendrix...shouldn't take you too long to get to Cali with that blower on...how about a test drive I will tell you if its runnin right =]

On a serious note, I can't wait for the video. Congrats on doing it yourself, I think the greatest perk of doing the supercharger install is when your engine will need work it won't be as intimidating. Good job.
