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 :thumbdown:

BOOOO! :thumbdown: That sucks! Well guess they gotta make their money too. Oh well. Appriciate it though :thumbup:

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! :thumbsup: So we will see

Ya for sure! I don't need another "incident"!  :thumbdown: I tend to get ahead of myself. I might be able to snag the whole kit for $3500, but need to be absolutely sure it fits the avy!  :thumbsup:

Like BD said. check it out thoroughly. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER buy something until you've double and triple checked it! Trust me, I learned the hard way.

WHERE IT REALLY IS ABOUT THE FRIENDS AND AVY'S, AND NOT THE ALMIGHTY ADVERTISING DOLLAR!

Ya I hear ya on that one! It does fit though I checked. All the the 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0 engines with the "cathedral port" heads use the same supercharger. So would work, and this is the kit, so includes charger, fuel injectors, etc. so for $3500 I think it is a good deal.

One other thing I didn't mention in the PM - ask if it has the programmer with it. If not, you'll have to spend another $450-$500 to get the programming set up. Seeing as how he's sent it back to the manufacturer for a checkup and repackaging I'm guessing it will have it.

Yeah but you cheat. You've got a cam and laughing gas and an exhaust cutout to make up for not having a Magnacharger!  :winkani: 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.  :cheers:

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.

Anything that makes power isn't cheating.

I'll have to pass on Bratfest.  I have other plans but thanks for thinking of me.
2011 Silverado, Ext Cab Z-71 5.3, 6L80, Airaid CAI, Magnaflow cat-back, and a little tuning by me and HPT.

Gone but not forgotten, 2002 Victory red. The quickest lifted 4x4 AV in the US in it's day.

I assume it involves bikinis and beer?
