How long and how hard is it to do that?

if I had one of those I would have to keep the tire store on speed dial

Just got the Street trucks mag and there was a GMC ZR5 in the reader rides there that said it was blown also. Lots of crew owners!

Cheers,

Con

That should make it a trailer pull'n machine

Ron should be right around the 300 HP mark right now, and He wants to add a few more mods to get it to 350 HP.

Seems pretty "do-able" to me.

I saw a guy at a local mini truck meet that had a blower on a 2nd gen s-10. He said he was getting about 60 more horsies with it, but he seemed kinda modest, so who knows.

What was the price tag on that mod? How would that effect the warranty? What else was involved with that mod? JH68

do you need hedders for that? I would think that with the supercharger while forcing air in, it needs to breathe alot more too

Without an intercooler these advertise 50-60% increase in horsepower with no other mods.

Headers would help some if the tubes are big enough. Just a bigger Y-pipe and 3" all the way would be as good and still useable with a bodylift.

Blown engines just need to get the exhaust out as quickly as possible and don't benefit as much from "tuned" headers.

That's why the funny cars run zoomies.

An intercooler could be good for another 20% increase.

The main investment at this point needs to be opening up the exhaust. Then work on the cooling system, ignition, etc.

I haven't looked into it much but I'd guess $3000-$3500 for a no frills set-up.
