Not yet. We're trying to stay out of the way of the engineer's. I should be able to take an idle video in the next week or two.

I liked that box full of raw manifolds waiting to be finalized.

Thanks, sir. Though, I'm sure you've been able to hear it. Does the V3 still have the rattle that the other Vortech blowers had? Not that this is a bad thing, I used to actually find the 'rocks in a blender' sound endearing. Others, not so much.

I had a V2 on my corvette and it was near silent at idle.

If the V3 uses the same gearing, then it should be as silent. I actually liked how Brando's and my chargers sounded. It wasn't obnoxious to me. Others didn't share my same sentiment, though. I haven't been able to hear the new internally lubricated versions, so I am interested.

Yours were better than a procharger any day!

In my opinion it's pretty quiet. It has that distinctive Vortech whistle to it but I can't hear any gear backlash or anything like that.

It was the gearlash that caused the other. So, without that, it should be good to go. Thanks for reporting back. Would still love to see a vid, though. So, whenever you can...

i was talking to my buddy who called...saying it is not as loud as the previous Vortech that were on g35/350z and wanted to go quieter this time around.

I don't know about that. Jay'z procharger wasn't rattle-y. Granted at 14psi it slung belts at me at 200+ mph.
