Well, I must say that all the time involved in the headers, Supercharger, exhaust, roller rockers, IAT, and everything else that I am flat out impressed at how fast this truck is. I can't wait to get it to a dyno to play with it.
Fully loaded 4x4 with spare, TON's of stuff in the CC, a passenger, and it is almost scary fast. I have no "real" numbers yet but lets put it this way, multiple 300z's, 4 5.0 Stangs, trucks (a 4.7 Dak!!, stock though so not very fair), ect and this thing has just walked away from both a stop and ESPECIALLY once I'm rolling (big ass tires take a bit to move).
I scared my wife a bit, we turned onto the highway, she had mentioned that the truck "sounded" a bit different (HaHaHa!!!), I punched it with O/D off and we were over 100 before we ever got to the merge point, thats damn near scary. She was in shock. Then asked what I had done, mentioned new "muffler bearings"!;-) and left it at that.
Now I want new gears and a locker. I've got 3.55's and want it off the line faster, thinking about 4.10's and a powertrax or an Auburn. $$$ It never ends, unlike the $$$ which goes fast.

Shawn, have you made any 1/4 mile runs since you added the latest mods. I'm curious to see what kind of times you would be running. I have a 99 Sport CC 5.2 4x4 Auto 3.55 SG, Gibson Headers Ceramic Coated, JBA Y-pipe, Gibson Split Rear Exhaust, K&N Gen II w/Hughes 11000 Filter, Quick-D 50mm TB, FMS #19 Injectors, MP M-1 2Barrel Intake, Compcams 480/512 Cam, Compcams Double Roller Timing Set, MP R/T Lifters, MP 1.6 Roller Rockers, MP R/T Valve Springs & Retainers,MP/MSD 6AL Ignition, Crane PS-91 Coil, Accel Cap & Rotor, MSD 8.5 Wires, MP/Bosch Plugs, MP PCM, ASP Crank Pulley, 180 'Stat, Mobil 1 Oil & K&N Oil Filter. My best time was 15.39 before the cam, intake manifold, ASP pulley and injectors were installed, I'm hoping to be in the 14s' now. Post your time, I would like to see how much a difference a supercharger makes.

CanDak the local performance parts store must be in love with you. You bought half their inventory.LOL 14's would be really really nice especially for a n/a truck like your CC 4X4. That's a lot of weight to send lumbering down the highway. You must give a lot of people raised eyebrows as you roar by. Good luck.

Don't forget that when you change your muffler bearings that you must adjust the carburator brake, or TB brake on EFI models. If you don't, your timing will be off.

Jeffster, you should have seen the look on the face of the guy with the new Silverado the other day when he tried to beat me to a lane reduction, it down shifted into 1st at about 25 mph breaking the rear tires loose and I was ahead of him in a flash. It sure plays with peoples minds when a 4x4 does this.
