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 haven't been able to spend much time in engineering for the past week or two. I have been buried in numerous other projects and haven't been able to break away to the dyno for awhile now.

Hopefully I can head back out and catch up with the guys next week. Nissan just asked us to build them a race car in less than 6 weeks so I've been trying to organize that build with all of the fabricator's, installer's, and painter's...yes...less than 6 weeks to build a competition ready race car!

I would like to see all those parts laid down on a white background to see what's included with the kit, maybe they you can swap the air to water intercooler with a larger setrab core cooler and add electric fan to it and freeze the water inside it to get maximum cooling, just an idea though.

Edit: do you have thermal gasket between the stllien intake manifold and the lower runners, just to help in preventing heat transfer even if it was for a little bit.

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.
