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...

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...

Looks right at home in there

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!

Get that lead sled done! One of us needs to make some progress.
Yeah you guys need to get those things done before the summer is over! LOL
Good progress!

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.

$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.

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.

My area of Alaska has no inspection. But the anchorage area does require it. Too bad for them. Haha
I am going to just do a loop system. Single in single out. Basically just a supply to cross over to a single return to the regulator. I have seen too many people making huge power on a loop system. If I actually have a problem with fuel pressure I will change it up. But I would rather keep it simple.
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.

I would definitely recommend a windows based laptop like stated by Chris. HPtuners is only compatible with windows based machines.

You have to understand that Matt is an EXPERT part searcher!!

Welcome to the site!

I put in an offer for $100 hopefully he accepts it! LOL

Welcome to the site! I think I've seen you driving around before and on craigslist like Justin pointed out.

Either the custom fit Husky Liners (which I have) or Weather tech floor mats (also custom fit).

It use to be haul@ss's truck on here.
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

I know EFILive shows this info. On the go, I use a bluetooth transmitter and an app called "Torque" for android.
Here is a pic I took while running it on my tablet. No screenshots of it on my phone since I got a new phone
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.

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.
-
The truck looks SWEET!! Are the wheel center caps painted? (The black in the center).
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
-
Nice truck! How did you guys get into the port? You have a twix card.
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.Yup I need a set of those mats. Truck looks great.
I really like the floor mats too, they came off ebay used but they are still pretty nice.
