How long to keep supercharger
 
I have a 6 pound supercharger on a 2000 chevy silverado with currently 86000 miles on it. How long should I keep the system on my truck or is there anything significant I can do to extend the life of my engine given the miles and supercharger.

I think it sounds good but do you have a cam and what kind of head work has it had? What stall are you running?

No... no no no. Take it off right now, and put it in a box. Then send that box here to Seattle. I'll take good care of it. Screw you RXSteven! : )

Dude, you'll be fine w/ the supercharger. People think that they add so much more stress to a motor. It's 6lbs. Relax.

Yeah, if it was a Hyundai it would be one thing. I doubt that'll creat problems. Ofcourse if you thrash it quite a bit that'll shorten the life of the engine but that does that anyway.

I got a supercharger on my regal GSE and they add good power about 50 more hp. also another good mod to it is put a smaller pulley [8D]

No cam nor any head work done!! Stall? Explain that for me.

Tayoz....I have all three pulleys and they work great in all weather and all altitudes. Small pulley good for the hotter more high end power.

Torque converter but if youre running with a stock cam you probably dont have one. Do you have any supporting mods to youre truck? or did you buy it like that. If so you might have even more than you think.

The size pulley determines how much boost youre running. In most superchargers you can only run as much boost as youre spring in youre waste gate will allow.
