Nice what kind of filter

or spend some money pull the supercharger off and take 1/4" off all sides of the triangle and put it back together, whines like crazy and reduces KR, just don't go overboard with it and tape up your needle bearings and it would be a good time to change your coupler if you got many miles on it.

and the tb...i ported all of them and once the hump in the tb was removed mine started whistling at high rpm...sounds either really wrong or really right buy i love it and if makes people look twice..still debating if those are impressed looks or sympathy looks though

Haha@ Copperpacecar... So true, one of my buddies thought my transmission was going out. XP

I'm saying gaskets and supercharger oil, and lots of carb cleaner. lol yeah i do it myself, i only did the outlet but it whines like crazy. i love it.

yeah my friend just had her tranny go out on her gp. it whines bad and slips. she told her dad, "yeah my friends car whines like that too but he says its his supercharger" gave me a good laugh

I am doing a LIM this weekend, so I might as well grind a little on the blower while I am in there, but I am new at this so any more info is appreciated. What do you mean by 'tape up your needle bearings'? Where can you get a coupler, and what does that usually cost? Can you port on an otherwise stock car, or is this only for modified cars? Same with the open cone-is that only for modified cars or is it fine if this is the only mod so far? Will I need to replace anything else if I port (like the bearings, shafts, etc.)?

Remove the insulation on your hood. Will make it slightly louder.

So can you port the blower and do an open filter on an otherwise stock car? What does it mean to tape the needle bearings? What else will I need to do if I port the blower (Change fluid, bearings, etc.)? I have seen the triangle porting. Is that the outlet that I should port? Does the intake also need ported, and how do I do that? My car is currently all stock, but I plan to do some light mods over time. Also, what is the stock throttle body size? I have a 9 inch K&N with a 3 1/2 inch opening. Will that fit right up or will I need to get adapters?

what they mean is remove the rotors to port the supercharger tape them so shavings dont get into the bearings...i usually stuff a bunch of wett rags into the intake and intot the case of the supercharger so the metal flakes from the removal of metal dont get into the bearings on the supercharger...u can also just replace the needle bearings after the port which is a good idea in my eyes...yes you can do it on a stock car....if you remove the hump on the throttle body i suggest a tune but i dont think its needed. also itll become a pain to tune as it changes the air flow charactoristics across the maf....u will need to pull the snout off the supercharger so yes you will need fluid. goto a gm dealer of zzp for fluid...port both intake and outlet...remove the lower humps of the triangle and get shorter bolts if needed. also remove the mold marks around the triangles edge. you can make the triangle a little larger but dont go to far. sorry i dont know how much is too much though....open intake up and remove the groove in the inlet. pretty much just open her up a few mm and smoot it out real good....ill try and post pics..if you do the throttle body DO NOT DO ANYTHING NEAR THE THROTTLE PLATE AS THIS MUST SEAL CORRECTLY OR YOU WILL BE BUYING A NEW THROTTLE BODY!!!

and a thanks or two would be nice all that typing made my hands hurt
