    Has anyone put an Eaton/Magnacharger on Vortec 350

    I was under in impression with what you've said that you didn't know what type of blower the Eaton was. Sorry I guess I've been reading too much BMW forums trying to get info about mods for my wife's M3. Those people are so damn ignorant about performance parts. A guy swapped a Ls1 in an E36...

    Has anyone put an Eaton/Magnacharger on Vortec 350

    Magnacharger or the Eaton like the MP90 from the 3800 V6 that I was talking about is a roots style blower not a twin screw. Kenne Bell and Whipple are twin screw. Obviously a Procharger is centrifugal and not at all what I want for a heavy Tahoe since they make all their power at redline. I want...

    Has anyone put an Eaton/Magnacharger on Vortec 350

    I am curious if anyone has gotten any of the MP blowers Eaton makes like the 62 that came on the 3800 or the 112 that came on the Cobra and Lightning to work on a Vortec 350. I think given the low rpm these trucks turn and ample room under hood (apart from the distributor) it would work well and...

    I have a 1996 Chevy Tahoe with a 5.7 need some performance help

    The 5.7 needs the spider injection replaced, it is leaking. I was curious to get some info on the marine intake swap since I was talking to a friend and he said there was some power to be had there and a great improvement for MPG. What is needed to do it, where can I get the parts from, and is...

    Question about fuel injector assembly and FPR

    The code I got was random misfire. Short of the distributor itself everything including the ignition coil has been replaced. Once I knew for sure the new ignition coil made no difference I took it off and returned it. ---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM...

    Question about fuel injector assembly and FPR

    Faint black smoke, when I say hard to start I mean it takes 3-4 seconds of turning over before it finally lights off

    Question about fuel injector assembly and FPR

    My 1996 Chevy Tahoe is hard to start. I've started a couple thread on here and it has been suggested the fuel injector poppet assembly and/or fuel pressure regulator is faulty. The fuel pump, fuel filter, battery, alternator, serpentine belt, idler, belt tensioner, plugs, cap, rotor button, plug...

    LS swap talk thread

    Really??? A lot of TBSS owners are ditching the ls2? Funny I have a TBSS and am on tbssowners.com and I've only seen one person with a 5.3 in place of the ls2. That was because he popped the motor. And the 5.3 has dished pistons versus the flat top of the 4.8. If I was building a boosted motor...

    Question about best way to add torque

    A properly sized turbo would add loads of torque. Get a Comp Turbo oil less turbo, mount it at the Y and run a small intercooler with 5-8psi and you'll have the power of a big block, small block economy when out of boost and if sized right (on the smaller size) fast spool with great power. The...

    I have a 1996 Chevy Tahoe with a random misfire P0300 code, hard start, skip will running, and poor mileage. I've replaced a lot chasing the problem and doing maintenance work. In my most recent research it seems that the fuel pressure regulator and or fuel injectors/poppet valves could be the...

    need headers and ORY

    I am wanting some long tube headers with an off road Y pipe. I was looking at the Stainless Works headers but they're 1 7/8" primary with 3" collectors. I'm afraid even with a 383 they might be too big. Any suggestions on what I shoukd run? I want either stainless or some coated headers. At some...

    I've been chasing this problem for awhile. I've replaced fuel pump, filter, plugs, coil, cap, rotor, altenator, battery, serpentine belt, idler pulley and tensioner, cleaned the throttle body, maf, and egr yet it still happens. Only code I get is random misfire and when I start it it turns over...

    Need brakes

    Yes but part of being a part of a forum is supporting the vendors. Understanding that shouldn't be that hard PM me when you find out. I need rotors, pads and lines for my 96 4wd Tahoe ASAP

    Need brakes

    I need to get some brakes on my Tahoe. It is a 96 4WD with 32" tires. I want something that will give a stronger grab. I want to get some new brakes pads, lines, and rotors for the front and maybe swap the rear drums out for disc. Also does anyone swap the master cylinder out for the Hydroboost...

    Cap & Rotor recommendations

    I just went to the dealership and bought mine Wednesday and they were only like $50. Granted I get a little discount but it shouldn't be too bad

    Ignition and ECU tune questions

    Nothing to do with the forum. All of my cars have been modded. My last two cars was a bagged Duramax dually with a 450whp tune. And my wife's Yukon XL lowered 4-6. So this isn't my first trip down a road to mod a vehicle
