Tbi super charger

[Brian H]

I have been thinking about putting a super charger on my tahoe and was wondering if anyone had some input (good or bad) on the power gain and life span of the tbi charger.

TBI supercharger? Very very few TBI systems will support boost without a aftermarket ECM. Does this supercharger come with other goodies?

Not sure. It says the kit is $1775 but doesnt say what it comes with.

But it is for GM TBI?

On this page, if you look at the first few "installation manual" pictures, they list the parts that should come in the kit. One is a "programmed chip" for 6PSI.

I would like to know what this part is?
Just a chip isn't enough and would be very dangerous at the least.
