Did you buy the full kit? I’m trying to figure out what the heigh is on jt

"I said what I said !" and I'm always happy that you do ! Cat's been outta the bag 8 hours now , blowers are probably what comes after "W" . I loved the look of the setup on the live chat , even happier it has performance to match .

Torque numbers are Awsome.Nice machine work.CNC machines these days are just amazing.

That to date is the best video. It went step by step thru the process. Excellent video sir.

You're so freaking awesome dude. I don't know what fuels you after watching the live streams though. So many elementary questions and you keep on trucking, smiling, and posting up videos. You're truly a saint, RH!

Super stoked on this series!!

Great video once again Richard! You're doing God's work

So break down of price looks like this. Blowers can be found at the price listed but will probably go up. $400-$800 m122 blower $350 for throttle body kit ($100 if you are doing dbw and supply your own throttle body) $1750 Adapter plate, intercooler and fuel rails $250 pulley kit $587 Magnuson lower tub So total price could be between: $3087-$3737 As long as the price of the supercharger doesn't go up significantly. Also keep in mind the other things like water tank, pump and whatever else is needed to make the air to water intercooler work. It not a bad deal but some may choose to go a different route. All depends on how well this fits your needs. I will say I got to speak with the guy that sells the adapter and he seems like a great guy that is very helpful. So if you don't like the price please be respectful.

Your next videos are going to be gold on this. Pump gas comparisons, cam swaps, looking forward to it! I see on the pulley it says "Demeuse Engineering" and your video description says "Demuse" may want to correct that.

Sorry to say Richard, but there isn’t a so called “cheap supercharger”.

Man I LOVE the engine durability of the 5.3 platform (usually reserved for "big block race engines") and innovations today, as opposed to 40+ years ago. Way back when it was a daunting task (and big $ ) to put a rootes blower (detroit diesel) on an engine a make it run well.

Chevy guys always drool over Ford parts/chassis lol keep being our followers!

The golden part about these adapters is they include the inter cooler. So much power to be gained with one….

How much taller is that blower combo in the L33 compared to the L33 when it had the stock truck intake on it? Would this set yo with with a kwik wide bracket corvette spacing accessory bracket kit. I have a zr2 4x4 s10 (2000 year model) than I've been gathering parts for and the last think I need to get is that corvette spaced accessory bracket kit that kwik makes. I plan to daily the truck and I have a turbo I had planned to remote mount since I will be running an A/C system (also from kwik). Not sure if I should try thus or just go N/A with the truck build. I have 2002 WS6 6speed TransAm than in planning to do an H/C/I on and just leave the 125/150 shot on it that I've been running. I build a stroker 383 also with nitrous and converted to an lt1's T56 in my old 89 formula firebird. So most everything I've done is either just built motors with or without nitrous and I wanted to do this 4000lbs S10 as my first LS swapped forced induction build that i can still daily drive (went a bit over board in the 89's stroker 383 and it wasnt very traffic friendly but a hell of alot of fun. I may consider going this route also long as I dont have to run a 4+" cowl hood to clear the engine like I ended up with in the 89 formula firebird. I figure I'd have to do a 2" just to clear the truck intake anyway and the opened back of the cowl would help some with heat extraction from under the hood but I would like to be able to see the other side of the truck since the scoop on the 89 meant I could see the pop up head light with out leaning forward. Thank in advance. You do great videos. I'll likely do the HCI to the 2002 soon since its sitting at 74,961miles as of today and need a new clutch and slave cylinder anyway. That should give me time to figure our the route I'm gaining to ultimately take with the zr2. Thanks again
