I was also a little worried about the noise I was hearing from the supercharger.  I changed the oil in it(internal system) and after that I noticed the noise.  So far from the people I have asked they say its normal but I am hoping to get an email back from vortech service to confirm.I took it for a short drive tonight and after hopefully fixing the exhaust noise with the insulators, and hearing the blower noise is normal I decided to get on it a little bit.  I only got on it for a second before the tires broke loose and the tell-tale tack line shows I hit 5k.  I guess I am going to need to relearn 1rst gear as I really didn't get on it much at all...</blockquote>
