Supercharged '06 Avalanche

2kewl · 03-31-2008

So, supercharged 5.3 gas with all the mods listed in signature.

BUT...,

The big heavy tires are KILLING HP numbers - 270 RWHP - yuck (although I'm quite happy with the performance in general )

Stock(ish) rims and rubber are an option but I like my current look and the big tires keep me on the road (and get me out of the ditch) going to oil rigs.

I figure my next best option is water/meth and possibly a smaller SC pulley. I know nothing about installation and tuning etc. (except that it should be left to the pros).
I hear that w/m is best at WOT and not as good cruising around. Are highway speeds considered WOT 'cuz I do a lot of that but also crawl around in the bush a bit. Lots of ups and downs with big hills too.

I'm NOT racing or anything so is it advisable or worth the effort to go with w/m injection? What are the upkeep duties? I just want to have it installed and tuned (however that it done), and forget about it. I realize I'll need to fill the reservoir now and then.

Essentially I want just some more lead in my pencil turning those big wheels.

Whaddaya think??

it manily works when you go wide open, and will allow you to run more boost and or timming.. the only up keep is filling up the container
