Topic: BlueDevil's Vortech SuperCharger Installation Progress

[USMC0311]

Yeah but you cheat. You've got a cam and laughing gas and an exhaust cutout to make up for not having a Magnacharger!   We've got a real 1/4 mile track here in St. Louis.....we could find out who's got the fastest Av. Are you up for it? I'll even chip in for some of your gas money.  

BTW - you're invited too, Blue. And Main One can come along also. We really should try to show up en-masse sometime and have some fun.

Ahhh Cmon! Wait for me!!

I've never installed my 3.2" pulley yet and still need to have someone help with really doing the VE and MAF tuning but I'm ready to do it anyway.

And to think that just last night on the way home after Minor One picked me up at the airport from my Australia trip that we were talking about Bratfest.  She's already made plans for that weekend, but they don't involve me, and she's given me permission to make the trip.  And reading this is just making me look forward to it all the more!

I'll bring my laptop, and hopefully also my new HPTuners interface.  I had the older serial interface which they aren't going to support after September, so after I left for Australia the wife sent it to them, along with $199, for the upgrade to their new unit.  Got an email yesterday with installation instructions for installing software for the new unit - I'm hoping they sent the email when they shipped my new hardware.  I'm sure we can have some good HPTuners discussions.

Man you all are making me want to supercharge the avy NOW! I want to play!! If it wasn't so damn expensive I would do it like yesterday, but I am saving up now for the Maggie! Saw you guys are bringin your HP tuners to Bratfest .... Anyone wanna help me perk up the avy?? I got ice cold beers

Well, I haven't made a supercharger investment yet myself, so you aren't the only one with desires beyond current checkbook capability.  I have an HPTuners license for all 03's, but not any other year.  I should warn you though that the last time I tried to tune someone else's truck (Murman's), we were stuck on the side of the road for a couple of hours before we figured out the source of our predicament and got our hands on a good serial interface cable.    Fortunately, my new interface will not require a serial cable.

The problem is,

all hand held programmers can only do 1 vehicle.  If you want to do another vehicle (same year),you would have to revert to stock on the current vehicle in order to do the other.

HPTuners can do several vehicles but you have to purchase such credits

Ah too bad, mine is an 04! I know tuning can be tricky, but usually worth the time! I think I may have found a decent price on a Magnacharger MP122, pretty sure that kit would work for my truck, but still have to check. If so I just might get it this week! So we will see
