That would be great... any takers? Also, how would one go about REPLACING the Dampener, and do we have a price range?

hmmm...couldnt find the dampner...figured it would come with anew chain...but it didnt look like it...i would change the chain and sprockets too if that the problem...the chain set is 120.00

Timing chain (if needed):
ZZ Performance
Damper:
ZZ Performance
I don't see any reason to change the sprockets. You have to remove the front cover of the engine to do this stuff. Not too hard, but somewhat involved.

I was looking at a writeup on a random webpage, and this looks like it's gonna suck... What're the chances that it's NOT the timing dampener, as the front of the motor's on the OPPOSITE side of the throttle body (which seems to be the source...
I'm wondering if it's something as simple as I torqued it too hard and ovalled out one of the holes that the s/c impeller pegs sit in, and that's moving?

Oh, I thought it was from the passenger side of the engine. Just tossing ideas out there.

at this point man, I'll listen to any ideas... I appreciate you guys even posting up some ridiculous ones LoL.... I just don't really feel like pulling apart the front of the engine (when I work full time, the wife works full-time and leaves the second I get home, and have a toddler and identical twin infants) when time is tight and I can't really dedicate even a solid day, let alone the two I was recommended, yanno?
At any rate, I really REALLY appreciate all the input and suggestions from you guys on the forums and I'm sure whenever this problem gets fixed, it'll be a solution from here.

Narrow it down.
Remove your supercharger belt and start the car and see if the sound is still there.
Yes, then its something else motor wise.
NO, and then you have it narrowed down to the supercharger, or its pulleys for the belt.
The clunking could also be a worn out balancer on your crank as well to even a bad idler or tensioner pulley on the accessory belt or even on the supercharger belt.
Your rotors you removed, how they have the shinny spots on the blades, thats the rotors making contact with each other. I have seen them worn down to the metal below before from them knocking around in there. Your case needle bearings, deep inside the case could be worn out, or you switched your bad set of rotors with another bad set. Happens.
But before we start jumping further to replacing expensive parts, check the above carefully, and go from there. Its not hard to pinpoint the sound. Better than finding a small fluid leak, or tracking down an electrical short. Trust me.
