Supercharger your H3 V8 5.3L - Page 2

I understand not wanting to cover it up, especially if it was the polished version.
But, being able to hide it would be cool. Just thinkin of a head scratching SRT
jeep owner, or those SS trailblazers.

Is that the intercooled version?  I know the heat soak on the C5 version was pretty significant until they intro'ed the intercooled Maggie.  Also, I'd be concerned on how the drive train will react to all that extra torque. 
 
Any predictions as to how much the mileage will drop?
 
I am definitely interested as I upgraded my EFILive in anticipation of power mods like this but I think I'll be a bit more cautious than I was in modding my C5 since this is my daily driver.

The "Heat Soak" you are talking about with the early C5 is not an issue anymore.  The intercoolers have been upgraded and tested for well over 5 years now.   The drivetrain will react just fine, the longevity of it depends on the owners right foot and maintence habits......I aways say, if you beat the $hit out of something it will eventually beat you right back.  In our testing the MPG will go UP about 2-3 MPG on the higway, and stay about the same on the street.  The only time it is an issue is when your right foot is burried in the GO pedal!  If you are interested check with the board sponsors and they can help you out with your purchase.

What will the H3 system retail at?

6600.00 is "Suggested Retail" for the silver version.  This will include EVERYTHING you need to install the supercharger, I mean EVERYTHING.

Are the installation instructions available for download yet? 
 
Where did you locate the reservoir for the intercooler?
 
I know Magna Charger offers supplemental warranty with this but how would it affect my 5/100K GM warranty?

I am working on getting the instructions on the website, I will post them up when they are available.  You can down load the Trailblazer SS instructions if you would like to get an idea of what is involved....they are very close in isntall time.
