I purchased the equipment myself. Demontron did the install. great job so far no issues.

purchased the SC from http://www.speed-eng.com/store/ Cost 4,500, also got the ceramic coated headers form them.

Had the local exhaust shop install the muffler (xtreme flow) and headers

Just wanted to let everyone know, I finally got my MagnaCharger installed. unfortunatley when I ordered I had 35 tires and now have 37 tires, which makes my speedometer wrong and my gas milage off.

But Man it runs good. Never thought the Hummer could have so much acceleration. Worried that with that much power, I might break something when offroading.

In general I am very pleased with my new acceleration. It sure made the Hummer more fun to drive!!

Glad to hear it won't lurch out from under me when I gas it. I was worried it would be too much power on the trail. It feels like a lot of torque on the road.

As for the added power of the SC yes the gas peddle gets a little touchy but when I was in 4-low and 1st or 2nd gear dealing with the obstacles the gear reduction is so great that you'd have to mash your foot to the floor to get the truck to lunge. As for a 10 point turn atop Lions Back simply lift your foot off the brake a bit and let it idle forward you'd been just fine.
Next trip out to Moab you'll have to drive my H2. The added torque is great for getting up and over obstacles. I didn't try all the stuff you concurred but the stuff I did do I had no trouble getting over them and I believe the added torque was a big help. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Ken,

Are you talking about the fan or can an SC be disengaged by switch?

I'm worried about how an SC will react during offroading like for example, a 10 point turn on top of Lion's Back??? With all that power, will it be harder to baby the gas peddle?

Sorry, I have no clue.

Dennis,
We're talking about switching off the electronic fans.

Dennis, mine is a little different than most here it seems. I have that 2800 stall so I can press the gas with little movement.

Without it, do as they said. Lift off the gas and let it idle forward. Oh, keep your foot near the brake....
