[@keithgoff3272]

A number of people are complaining about $1300 for a set of adapters. I think once they see the hoops that need to be jumped to make this work they would understand. Also these blowers at one point were $400 shipped on EBAY. That was the Blower, Intercooler and DBW Throttle Body. An LSA Blower is now $1500 used. A Lid is $600 used and you need a throttle body and drive set up. For a guy with a 4.8 or 5.3 and a truck accessory drive the $1300 for spacers is not a bad deal. There is certainly more that goes with both of these set-ups but overall it's not a bad deal and its new. I know it's not going to be capable of making as much horsepower but that's not what everyone is trying to do. Just my 2 cents.

I was wondering about the height of the supercharger on the engine with adapters, how much taller is it over the truck intake, Since the truck intake sits right under the firewall with I think about a inch of clearance between the intake and bottom of the firewall. I have a 2007 GMC Envoy Denali it has the factory 5.3 V-8 not the 4.2 Vortec inline 6 that is in the regular Envoy. I also just put a brand new long block LH8 in it not the LH6 that it comes with.

I spent some time looking under the hood to see what it would take to use this Supercharger, and since that Cadilliac M122 supercharger has the throttle body in the back and that engine placement is far back and underneath the firewall it is going to be really tight back behind it.

The adapters are 1300 dollars and I can only find them on eBay. Plus the 600 for the supercharger you are better off going turbo cheaper and more power

[@corystansbury]

Appreciate what they did and it seems well done, but no way I'd spend that much money and go through that much effort for an M122.

[@NerdKid72]

Agreed, $1400 for adapter plates is insane! For the cost of plates + the blower and the other headache to adapt the tb you could find a decent lsa that has more aftermarket support and much more swap friendly (will actually fit under the hood of something other then a truck).

[@Mattvardaman]

I didn’t realize they were that expensive, lsa blower or turbo kit would be more cost effective

[@Mattvardaman]

@@frenchonion4595 that’s way to harsh of price on the adapters. I have a 2001 Silverado I’d like to add boost to one day. It already has most every common Ls modification: camshaft, springs, long tubes, tuned, and I have hp tuners now, and torque converter is next.

[@NerdKid72]

@@frenchonion4595 Yeah their truck kit is just that and it's $3500. No injectors and you have to deal with a throttle body at the back of the blower at the end of the day

[@corystansbury]

Or just get an LS + mild cam that will outflow this blower's maximum airflow. I just don't see the point.

I love that when I watch the video with close caption on, the motors spinning up on the dyno caption as ( music) ❤️🦍

[@ericflower9855]

$1300 just for the adapters is a little high....It doesn't keep in line with "going cheap " idea for these superchargers ...but it is BAD ASS!!!!

[@mmjnice97]

Shit for 1300 dollars ill have machined Billet adapters made myself lol

[@oldleatherhandsfriends4053]

you can't even find those superchargers cheap now anyway. Ebay is showing a single listing for $800+

Richard Holdener I have a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer EXT LS 5.3L have 177k miles looking to pull out and update the engine and boost performance on a budget any suggestions?

[@richardholdener1727]

cam, springs then boost

[@burningtires7421]

👀 add a turbo compound boost 👀 On a side note it works good on that little 4.8 but does it have enough for a 6.0?

[@fastboatster]

What that’s telling me is it’s a fun truck project time. Something like Silverado would be a nice “beater work truck” with this)

[@MrTheHillfolk]

I told my dad the other night (we totally aren't into American cars at all) That we should build a turbo LS all sloppy and have like 700hp. Just for the shits and giggles it'll give us, we've never had anything that fast ,and it's cheap as fuck I've got more in a short block for a VW than a LS turbo would cost

[@fastboatster]

@@MrTheHillfolk oh yeah, tell me about those VWs, I myself a victim of some fancy VW product aka Audi) Imo American cars got a bad rep because of all those fwd luminas-impalamalibus and other budget crap, but for rwd performance cars or just any trucks there’s not much that can give as much bang for the buck.

Geez Richard. You’d have to have a foot of firewall clearance to use that thing!🤣

It'd work *great* in a swapped Squarebody.

After you get the supercharger and the kit from macdaddy you're in boost district territory as far as price goes. Might as well go with a cleaner setup with boost district

[@ziptiejedi5658]

Thank you for doing this video and testing the Mackdaddy kit. I have been wanting to buy this kit but need some real data to know if it was any good. I think I'm going to place my order this weekend.

[@xozindustries7451]

Will you dyno the Cadillac motor the blower came off of with the blower to see what makes more power the caddy motor or the LS motor? Good shootout idea

[@hydrocarbon82]

They are "facebook only" for "personalized service". With how much a cluster-f*** their attempt at that is, it feels like a bait & switch scam. I mean who sells $3500 items but is too cheap to spend $30/mo for shopify or even $0.20 per item on Etsy??

[@dreece2000]

Richard, you have in my opinion, a dream job.

[@clarkclifford2338]

OK, maybe I'm missing something here. I see exactly one sts blower for sale on ebay and none anywhere else. Also, mack daddy site is a domain for sale.

[@CHASNME]

I'm in the comments looking for whoever is seeing these blowers for sale in mass and coming up with nothing. Maybe Richard is just getting a head start as I'm sure in the next 5 years or so they'll be plentiful but as of now I'm not seeing them.

Test this supercharger on sbc 350, 327 and dz302

[@michaelangelo8001]

Like to see how well it would work on an LT1. I imagine those billet adapters are prohibitively expensive though.

[@mitchy1990s]

Do they make one of the adapter kids for a BMW m60 or m62 v8? They can be had so cheap and make decent power. Stock internals are strong for boost, but not too many Blower kits except for the old jaguar one.

[@oonwing]

Man, am I looking wrong??? I'm trying to see if that supercharger fits a northstar 4.6.....

Can we see how it works on a 6.2??

[@beatems]

Where can i find one of these chargers cheap lol

[@jimfryar1]

What could you do to the motor to get it to a point where you could get more timing? I mean a good cammed 6.0 can make 512 relatively easy, so (on pump gas) the supercharger wouldnt be feasible for the $$ Thanx for all you do Richard!!

[@ijmodified]

Have you ever thought about teaching tuning classes like pay to learn tuning classes kinda deal

[@tedkay5272]

He doesn't know how to tune. He uses basic adjustments with Holley setup. Holley pretty much tunes itself. Check out Goat Rope Garage for tuning.

[@thegrumpyoldmillennial328]

I'm not hating on those guys, they seem to have put a ton of work into this kit....but they just flat out, priced pointed this option above a Maggie kit when all said and done. Same thing with the FabBot guys and the AR5 kit. All said and done your back into t56 territory 😔
