    I know it does from personal experience. I believe there is a writeup in the how to section.

    Not only the possible supercharger rotor coating, but any carbon that's developed on the rotors taking up space. dsmuts said in another thread to run it through the vacuum T under the nose of the supercharger. But here is some links I found:

    Grand Prixs Of North America • View topic - Seafoam writeup
    This has been asked a few times lately so hate to say it, but might need another sticky or at least something in the writeup section. I didn't find anything there doing a search.
