Probably should ask in a truck forum but I don't belong to any so I'll try here 
My dd is a 2011 Silverado 2500HD. It's kind of a dog. Heavy. Detuned. I've been building a 2007 Trailblazer SS for a long time, have switched gears a bit and am putting twin turbos on it and running E85. Different story. However - I have a Magneson TVS2300 setup, 8 rib, blower cam, boost-a-pump, 80# injectors, Aeromotive fuel pump, etc - all not being used on the TBSS build. I was going to sell it, but I thought - hell this might be a good bolt on for the Silverado pig. So the L96 has cathedral-port heads which is what that blower needs. I think it would be a bolt-on with minimal bs other than pulleys etc. Maybe a blower cam, headers, and definitely a tune... Am I stupid for even thinking this for my DD? Lol.. I bet it would liven this pig right up! |

Cool. Yeah I don't want to have to run meth injection or anything on my dd... just pep it up a bit.. I think I am going to give this a whirl...
Would you even bother with headers? Definitely run headers. It's all a big air pump so the exhaust will be a big bottleneck without headers and a decent system behind it. More in will need more out. |

here you go OP
let me know how they fit, I'm leaning towards a set for my truck

After you do that, you should put nitrous on it because reasons. If blown is good, then blown and bottle fed is better. Isn't n2o multiplied by 2x in boost applications lol? Good price on those headers - wonder what the quality is like? My Kooks 1 7/8" for the TBSS were twice that price. |

I've read about issues fitting earlier ones on trucks, but so far I haven't found much bad on the later editions. OBX used to be about that price, then they got huge in the market and went up |

Id spend the money on a Torque Converter over headers. Im putting down little under 800 at the wheels with the stock lq4 manifolds. That's kind of where I am at - I know it's not ideal but I am not building a race truck - if I do this I'll prob leave the stock manifolds on for now |

Mainly because I have it sitting here....and the truck is a slow pig that is under powered. I was going to use it on the TBSS but changed to twin turbo (Garrett reverse rotation)... my build is 408ci - a bit too large for that blower. Decided to go that route.
I've been trying to sell it for a while, and I just get shitty offers. For what I've been offered I'll keep it. |

Do it, Keep the boost moderate and you wont need the methinjection.
Should be fun. Nitrous would be a nice way to cool it. If it's got a intercooler on the supercharger, use the nitrous to chill the intercooler, or run a liquid C02 setup to chill the intercooler. Both work well. My fun car just has a tiny lil 100 shot of nitrous. It's just there as added HP against the rare run ins with amped up sportbikes and Aventadors. |

We have done quite a few trucks with that setup with only a cat-back exhaust and a reprogram on the transmission. Really wakes them up and they are very driveable. |

Did you have any issues with the pulley alignment? Being that this blower and pulley setup were spec'd for a TBSS, not sure if there are any differences? |

I will have to ask our installer about that in the morning. We just get the kit and bolt them up and reprogram, takes about 6 hours. IDK if the pulleys are different on the TBSS but the 6.0 dimensions are the same. |

I can buy another pulley kit if needed, or just figure out how to make these work - but thank you for the info - good to know!! |

Get a torque management delete done first. Wakes those trucks up bigly. If it is still too slow, slap the tvs on there. Great, reliable blower. Keep the boost down if you want to use it for truck things like towing. Every one I have done turning TM to 0%, even stock with miles, with any kind of boost over 8psi has led to issues with the 60's pretty quick. An 80 will handle it for a while but vavlving changes should be done either way. I know you said do that first, which puts a nice gain to the wheels, but it's no where near the gains of adding a little positive manifold pressure. |

I'm more of a turbo guy than a belty myself but hey if you got it, go for it. I don't know if I'd jump to 80's either. With what you are looking to do 60's would probably be enough. I have always had better performance with a smaller Inj running a touch more D.C. than big ones at lower. I know a lot of guys try to stay under 85% but homogenization & distribution is better at higher duties. Is that blower set up for your pulley alignment dims on your truck? |

Thanks for the info - not too sure on the pulley dims - I need to confirm that. Yeah - my TBSS build is getting a set of twins installed as we speak - Garrett reverse rotation

Would you even bother with headers? I've had Water/Meth in my DD for the last 5 years. Drill and tap the windshield washer reservoir and run a line to the pump, use -20º blue fluid (~34% meth, rest is water). Cheap, easy, works. |

I'd put that blower on RIGHT NOW... Consider upgrade valve springs same time, it's easy. ( I used the GM springs, they were painted purple, and really cheap. maybe LS9 springs, came in a kit with the Texas Speed 212/218@ .050", .550" lift
I use a TVS1900 Keep boost in the 6.5 to 8 PSI range, runs great on 90 octane pump gas. Revs easy to 6400, pulls strong from 2400 rpm.. idle real smooth at 700. |

If loud pipes save lives, then you'll be the safest driver on the road with open headers in your 2500HD battering ram.
