Couldn't have said it better ourselves.

One of our first BETA customers that did the HO kit, we asked him if we could turn it up to the Stage 2 kit, and his reply was "No way, it already spins the tires to much from a launch" Ha Ha.

With the gearing in these trucks, and the high revving motor, they really love the way the power comes in on these ProCharger kits. Nobody wants to just spin the tires, and go no where.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

There is a lot to be said for that on a daily driver. My Lightning has a built engine and Kenne Bell 2.3 supercharger and it has too much down low grunt to be daily driven without drag radials (I prefer the Nitto NT05R over the 555R). You could drive it with regular 555's on the back but be prepared to never hit the gas peddle heavy below 45mph in warm weather and 55mph in cool weather.

These newer truck don't put down as large a footprint and the tires aren't as sticky. You do not want to blow the rear tires off and hit the rev limiter on a kickdown. That is tough on the timing chain and other parts.

Nothing super exciting but here is the entire install video on our Procharger system. We will post the dyno vids soon.

My kit is installed and running. I will have pics in the morning. The install was very straight forward. No pics of the install process since Stage3 already covered everything possible with both pics and video. I will have to say that it is very loud. If you have never heard a ProCharger before that doesn't have helical cut gears it will surprise you.

For those of you running the Boss manifold I have a few things to go over when doing the install that are different.
1. You can't completely remove the fuel rail from the truck to install injectors. Though that wasn't really a problem but you will have to hang over the engine compartment while trying to get the clips off to pull the injectors from the rail. To put the injectors back in, place the clips on the injector first then just slide it into the fuel rail until it clicks. Kind of a pain in the *** but not really.
2. The last pipe before the 90 degree rubber elbow going to the throttle body can be used just like the instructions show, but I found it fit just a little better flipping it around so the long end is vertical.
3. MPT did an absolutely fantastic job with my base tune. The tune they modified to work with my mods got the truck up and running without a problem. I will be doing datalogs for them to fine tune everything but was really impressed with them making my base tune file.

Once more of my tune is worked out I will get on the dyno again and hit the track to see what a difference it has made. Right now since I'm not really getting in the throttle it drives pretty much like stock, which will be nice since I don't want it to be all race all the time.

Thanks again to Stage 3 Motorsports for their awesome customer service getting me the kit and MPT for doing the tuning.

Here is the link for the service. https://www.morepowertuning.com/supercharged
I just noticed the prices have changed since I purchased. Still think it is the best option if you don't have a local tuner that you are comfortable with.
