ATTN SUPERCHARGER OWNERS

[RCKSTR]

I want to add a supercharger to my 03 H2, motor and trans are bone stock. Have heard A LOT of good things about supercharging the 6.0, with the whipple,or the paxton, but have also heard bad, ie transmissions blowing up I'd like some opinions from supercharged h2 owners, so I can make a good choice. I'd love the extra power, but dont want to have to rebuild my trans either.. Im not a hot dog lead foot, but it would be nice to accelerate onto the hiway quicker, and have some fun with it.

Thanks guys!

You'll stick your foot in the gas more than you think. If you don't upgrade the trans right away, you'll have to do it later.

How many lbs of boost are you guys running to blow up trannies? I thought the trans in these trucks were pretty tough and would take 6 psi no probs...

6 lbs should give you some time, but to have the Corvette servos installed, at minimum, isn't much money and the piece of mind is great.

I installed the magnacharger supercharger back in Sept. 07 and love it. Boost between 6-8lbs. Installed corvette servo's as well as boost and fuel pressure pod, and have had no problems. Awesome torque on the low end and enough to let you pass someone with authority on the highway. Gas mileage went from 10 to 7 and now I use premium..Since it's mostly for show, I don't drive it as much, which makes it more fun when I do..Other adds, Dynatech long tube headers, Volant CAI, Bassani dual exhaust, QTP exhaust cutouts, MSD wires, plus, plus, plus..BRUTE

How many does the trans need? Did any of you have to do fuel/timing upgrades for the engine to handle the boost, or is it as simple as bolt the supercharger on and have some fun?

Since I had the work done, it was pretty much a bolt on application and away I went..Pretty fast..

Why pay $74.99 when you can get a genuine GM part here for $13.19? I bought one from them and it was less than $20.00 shipped and, as I said, is an actual GM part. You're paying more for billet with the eBay item...
