  1. You guys crack me up... Nice car trailer I assume?? That Trucks not included? Haha
  2. Thanks guys, your definitely right I didn't mess around slapping it on there. I do have some updates, most of my mid day was spent doing some short log runs and sending them back and forth to Zippy and each time it keeps getting better. He sent me a config I need to scan with now but I didn't get a chance to so I am going to try and get some logs in the morning. The sound of that blower is addicting and I haven't even gone full throttle yet! Seems to have a really amazing power band so far. Makes a huge difference in the way the truck drives, I really like it. Highest I took it was 4500 rpm under I'm guessing about 60-70% throttle, afr is running right about 11.2-11.5 under boost it looks like for the most part. I need to run it with the latest tune and see how it runs and scan it with the new config. Once everything is up and running 100% I'll get the Gopro out and make a YouTube video...
  3. Well I've had this Magnacharger sitting in a box for over a year now and I couldn't resist installing it on my SS. My original plan was to install it on my 57 Chevy or a hot rod LS swap project which may happen down the road but for the mean time I figured I would test it out on my SS.... My truck is pretty stock-ish and the supercharger will be its main power adder. The blower is a older Magnacharger MP122 jackshaft style drive that used to have over-driven rear pulleys, but I replaced them and put them back to the original stock setup as over-driven pulleys would yield way to much boost for my 173,000 mile LQ9. Below is what the build will consist of. Build list: E-Fan swap w/oem relay system and fuse box connections Zippy Tune MP122 3.2" front pulley stock under driven rear setup 60lb Deka injectors 87mm truck throttle body w/ Xlink 3.5 Larger tank made by Vortech has a big lid so I assume you can put ice in it? Aftermarket black heat exchanger 24"x10" Bosch heat exchanger pump Walbro 255 being used as an inline boost pump Hacked stock air intake tube Hacked evap system with hoses and zip tie... (legit) lol Original wiring, didn't take the time to reroute it or do anything special, maybe one day I will AEM Wideband Boost Gauge Without to much more rambling lets get to the install pics! Blower awaiting install... Engine covers, intake and everything pulled apart New valley cover plate installed, getting ready to trim the alternator bracket for clearance Test fit successful! Intercooler doesn't look perfect but it works and you don't see it once the grill is on Just got back from the first test drive and it runs good on the initial tune Zippy gave me. I did not get into the throttle much (30-40%) and immediately noticed some KR on the scanner and heard some slight detonation under low rpm loads so I didn't push it and I am going to see what Zippy says tomorrow. Enjoy the pics and I'll be updating this with more info and pics when I install the gauges, updates and videos...
  4. That motor looks great with that accessory drive setup on there! I had that same valve cover problem with the baffles hitting the rocker arms when I was doing the L92 top end conversion on my LQ9 in my 69. I hacked them off with an angle grinder LOL and ran them for some test runs then pulled them off and installed the GMPP polished ones I have now. That thing will go back together quick now!

    Wow truck sounds really good! Nice work, congrats!
  6. Yeah you guys need to get those things done before the summer is over! LOL Good progress!
  7. Wow looking good, lots of shiny parts! That AWD dyno sounds really fun, can't wait to see what you can put down and run at the track.
  8. Hope this helps http://www.reflectiveconcepts.com/products/silveradoss-com-decal.html
  9. $300 bucks is a lot cheaper than having the entire frame replaced so I would say go for it if the shop knows what they are doing and can get it back to where everything lines up. I've known some people that had regular silverados that had the frame fixed after a wreck and everything lined back up and fit together.
  10. Are you talking about the ACC position or the ignition ON engine off position? If accessory the only light that should be on is the battery light on the cluster and nothing else. If ignition the check engine light and everything else will be on.
  11. Fuel system is looking good! Can't wait for engine build pics! Also no inspections down here anymore, they did away with that about two years ago now which is very nice.
  12. I would definitely recommend a windows based laptop like stated by Chris. HPtuners is only compatible with windows based machines.
  13. Here's what you need. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jack-Access-Cover-Chevrolet-Silverado-SS-03-06-Black-/130709606833?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e6ee651b1
  14. I put in an offer for $100 hopefully he accepts it! LOL
  15. Welcome to the site! I think I've seen you driving around before and on craigslist like Justin pointed out.
  16. Either the custom fit Husky Liners (which I have) or Weather tech floor mats (also custom fit).
  17. X2, I saw it driving around the other day. Looked mint, super clean when I saw it driving. Would be a good deal for someone. Edit: looks like 74k listed on the ad
  18. X2 this is a great way to check out whats going on without spending a ton on a major program like Hptuners or Efilive. I have Hptuners and Torque and a bluetooth transmisster that I use sometimes on my phone.
  19. Wow I'm glad they don't salt the roads up here, my truck still looks the exact same underneath as it did when I bought it in cali. Also can't believe that the bid has jumped from around 1500 when I first looked earlier and now to 6100!! That truck would take tons of money to get the body restored back to its original condition.
  20. Thanks guys! The wheel caps have a decal in the center with silver SS emblem in the center. Definetly a good upgrade on stock wheels. In this pic the "SS" is upside down becuase it obiously turns as you drive lol
  21. Haha yeah we just snuck right in there! Nah its just a yard where they store containers down there before you get to the actual docks. Didn't see any do not enter signs so I figured we could pull in and shoot some pics and drive out. I really like the floor mats too, they came off ebay used but they are still pretty nice.
  22. Did a bit of a photoshoot with a friend the other night.
