Thread: slits in bottom of supercharger. how to close them

Close it with about $500 of your hard earned money. After you have to buy a new bottom end when the JB weld breaks loose and goes into the motor.

i had mine sealed up and its not really worth it. whine at WOT stays the same, but you get more part throttle whine. just leave them alone and get a loud whine the right way: open intake and smaller pulleys.

I just want that M112, Cobra, off-idle whine. It's sooo awesome.

XXX ^ 2 love that whine. Leave the slits alone...

I'd still not take the chance to ruin a motor.

To bad you can't weld them shut without warping the casing some. The best way I saw to do it is machine in clearance for a plate to cover up the slits.
