That's pretty damned FUNNY!
Say, did you install the blower on that Suburban?
I ran a blower on my old Grand Cherokee V8 - Vortech, Crane ign computer w/ manual retard adj (for dialing-in octane), second HP fuel pump, K&N intake, etc, threw on a Borla cat-back, a shift kit, Bilsteins, yada yada...). Looked like any Grand Chunky, went like stink. No intercooler, though, and should've had one.
The installation manual said "allow the entire weekend to install. Step 1: move crankshaft to TDC on #1, then punch a big hole *here* in your oil pan, grease the flutes on your 3/8 tap to catch the shavings (wife says "where did all my bread pans go?" I say "I've been practicing!"), install oil return line fitting...it got worse. One WEEK later (and some custom fab for some brackets from an old sheet of aluminum I had laying around), and she's a puring!
OK, off topic, gotta go before they find out that I don't even have a turbo (oops did I say that out loud?)
