The truck runs great with the supercharger. I was getting detonation until
I put on a Jacobs Boostmaster. the problem is now solved. Now I need to
get the transmission looked at. It has been slipping under full throttle
which really annoys me. I'm taking it in tomorrow probably. The
installation of the supercharger was very straight forward for the Vortech.
I could give you some hints when the time comes. I don't have an
intercooler because the one from Vortech costs way too much for my budget
to handle. I'd rather build up a 360.
