I think I spun a bearing in the blower, so I sent the blower to southern california to be rebuilt and upgraded. gonna cost $800, but should be running better than new (2 more lbs of boost) when I get it back in a few weeks. I'm still aiming for 12s.

if you have a supercharger you should be hitting 12's now, depending on what car you have, what car is it?

about 550 to the wheels with some good gears, and slicks would put you right under 12's on that stang..

car's got 3.73's in the rear end. it (for now) is running on street tires. I'm going to get a pair of slicks after I put the blower back on the car. I'm also going to put a bigger fuel pump in it and get it professionally tuned right after I get the blower back.

After that, I'll be broke :)

your best bang is the aftercooler. Don't be suprised if you blow your headgaskets out pumping 10psi+ out of that charger. Been there done that.

Same thing happened to me in my 95GT,
Had a polished paxton 8 lbs boost, ran great until I started hearing the bearings rattle and squeak. Got rid of it. I think Vortech makes a better blower anyway...
