i bought a vortech supercharger kit from jegs for my 2000 silverado and since then i've built a 2600 trans a 2200 dollar rear end and now i'm on my 3rd engine so the blower costing 4000 that puts me at 8800 in the truck not to mention the cost of the engine so year wife and i decided best thing to do was to build bad ls2 no blower. I only want 2600 for the whole kit
