Hire. Too much can go wrong.

Just booked us 2 nights at the Monterey Bay Inn. Deluxe ocean view, you can hear the slosh, it's only 20 feet away. Sixteen fifty!
Yup. You pay for the view and the slosh.
Still cheaper then buying oceanfront property Robbie so you are actually saving money. Once again I'm disappointed in you.
Posters are now cheering Robbie to blow more dough on a yacht instead of a fishing boat, and now an oceanfront property. Spend, spend, spend...
Do they want to see Robbie driven to bankruptcy, like ivinsfan's friend described in her thread? Schadenfreude?

If Robbie goes down, we'll all go down..
Did you have any problems with overheating? I'm setting it up for 6 psi boost, so not a lot. And the 6.0 LS engine and 6 speed auto are almost indestructible. Just worried that it may get hot pulling the long 6% grades around here. I have no intention to drive it like I stole it, just wanted a little more oomph for towing.
Some guys take these up to 14 psi and higher and get 800 hp out of them. Yikes.
No overheating issues at all. I already had the heavy duty towing package on the truck which has extra cooling from factory. I only ever got about 6 psi max boost. My supercharger was a Whipple, similar to your picture. My 92 454 was stock from valve covers down, this era of the big blocks was set up with very mild cam and heads with the smallest ports; like I said it was for low rpm torque. I did put headers and exhaust system on it. I could lay down 4 stripes with the dually rear tires and nothing in the bed. Stock it would struggle for 4500 rpm, after the supercharger and headers it would pull to 5500. Still very safe and 6 psi was nothing to cause problems. Double the boost and you probably want to have forged pistons, but the LS 6.0 have very strong bottom end that can handle a lot. You will be happy with the 6 psi boost if your intention is improved towing.
