Im not looking to be the fastest, just want something quick and fun to drive. I want to be able to jump in it and ride whenever i want not a trailer queen or weekend toy.

This is a stock 97 tahoe with a out of the box wynjammer. Should it would do a lot better with a set of flowing heads, nice blower cam, and better injectors. 96-99 Vortec 350s dont have injectors which limits the performance because of the poppets.

Yep, im not building a race car/truck. Ill just have a shorter belt for the weekends that bypasses the power steering pump and a/c compressor. Takes about 2 minutes to change a belt if that.

I think he means that it has a procharger appearance but "roots-style" orriented with no gears in the housing. (belt driven turbo) There is a fairly large double pulley set up that bolts to the alternator and the supercharger pulley is very tiny creating about a 6 to 1 ratio on a typical sbc application. Simple and cost effective way to boost your old school chevy.

If i wanted it to be real fast i would have bought a procharger or something in that range and spent several thousand on a new setup but considering colman has more money tied up in his wheel studs and lug nuts than i do in my brand new supercharger just gives me something to smile about. Ill drive mine to the track and run it then ill be almost home when hes done loading his on a trailer.

I like spending good money on my car. Don't hate because you can't.

I dont have a problem carrying on a conversation with anyone. You posted with the intention of putting me down like always because i dont have 15-20k to sink into my cars. Im not building the s10 to impress you or anyone else for that matter. Its what i want and can afford thats why its going together. You just think your better than everyone else because you sink a bunch of money into a car just to beat the guy next to you or to one up the guy before. You just go ahead and spend a bunch of money trying to be fast while i spend a little to enjoy myself. Back when i had my blue camaro you were a cool person to hang out with until you got around all your buddies that had tons of money in there cars then you didnt even know who i was. Kinda shitty huh? You just do your thing and ill do mine.

I asked about the supercharger because I didn't recognize it, and was curious.
Your right, I tryed to be cool with you. Until you started acting like a little kid, running your mouth every chance you get.
I don't have buddies with a bunch of money, nor do I think I'm better than anyone. I do spend a lot of time and money on my car (just like a lot of people on here), that's why I don't go around beating on it just to beat on it.

Like i said, i build mine to enjoy and use it for its purpose. I dont build a mild motor just to put around town in. If that was my goal id just build a stock car/truck. As far as me acting like a kid and running my mouth what are you talking about. I had respect for you until the night we were all out at hyw1 and everyone was getting gas. I asked where yall were headed and then said i didnt have the gas to go and you and Chad started laughing and said "I dont think anyone here is worried about gas" and then yall just turned around like i was never even there. My feelings arnt hurt, just showed what kind of person you were.
