New in Nashville, 2008 Tahoe LTZ (with some pics)

Nice ride!!! I'll be in Nashville the end of the month. Can't wait! Should I expect snow? Need pics of the STS-V!!!

What kinda horsepower are you getting with the charger? And fuel economy difference from stock?

magnachargers themselves will not alter your gas mileage until you go into "boost." Basically, if you have a boost guage, keep it at 0.0 while driving. If you mash on the pedal, you'll go into boost and start sucking down gas.

I thought superchargers made the vehicle get better mpgs as long as you don't drive with a lead foot?

Well I can't be 100% sure since I haven't had it on the dyno, but the way I was told (and based on some reasonable assumptions) i think she has every bit of 450HP maybe more, maybe a little less...

As far as the gas mileage, I have only the one frame of reference but so far after 4-5 tanks of gas my best guess is about 10-11MPG city, 14-15MPG highway.

But I have also had my foot in it most of the time (bad habit)

Cool, dunno about the snow but if you don't like the weather when you get here, stick around cause it will change.

Here is a pic of my STS-V (about to be retired - looking for a new home):
