Thanks. Here is the entire write up. There are probably 50+ pics of the install.

The power is very noticeable above 2500. Without being in boost, or low boost, it drives very normal and is pretty quiet. I also did the helical gear upgrade.

Thanks for the write up. Have y'all talked to ProCharger yet to see what the deal was with the missing/in-correct parts? Also, when do we get some video? Can't wait to get my kit in. Just in case anyone didn't know, Stage3 has awesome customer service and helped me out quite a bit with my order.
Thanks! I didn't beat up procharger too bad about the pipe. Looks like they just had a pipe from a different kit in there.

Okay so not trying to start a debate or saying you should buy a 5500.00 supercharger because of mileage, but check this out.....
So Saturday I took the truck on about a 150 mile round trip. Mostly highway, 65-75 MPH. So as I leave PHX i reset my mileage calculator, I kind of figured the mileage would go down. Before the supercharger i would get 13.5 in town and 15.8 on the Hwy. I reset it and as I get up to speed I see it go to around 18 MPG, i was pretty sure that was incorrect. As I continued to drive it just kept going up. I dont have a boost gauge so I cant say how many lbs of boost im making at 2K but take a look at the pics below. I just kept taking pics trying to document the gains.
For the record:
I didn't reset it at any point on the trip
My truck has 3.73 gears and 33.5s on 18x9s.
Sorry for the cell phone pics. Obviously I was driving.

You need to do a pull before any changes are made to see what Prochargers base tune and pulley put out compared to the smaller pulley and custom tune.
Looking at the pics above, that pulley might be a press on making it difficult to do a base run since you will have to preinstall the smaller pulley at home.

No i planed on doing a base pull and tweaking that tune and up loading that into my Live wire and then pulling off that other pully witch i have a pully puller for that witch will make it easy for me and i can do it while the truck is cooling off. Looking at the parts i got i dont think it is press on but i want know unil i get it off, and then get setup up for the other pull..

If you need to get rid of that AFE intake you had, I would take it off your hands.
