As far as the blower failure, yes, it was the bearings. We didn't think we were overspinning it either and our math showed that. However, Vortech was adamant that we were overspinning it and refused the warranty (the blower wasn't even 3 months old at the last failure). The biggest problem was that it was a V-2 unit and of course when it took a crap, it took the motor with it. When Vortech denied the warranty, the customer was done and washed his hands of the whole supercharger business and went with our Twin Turbo system that he is enjoying to this day.

I wish you luck with your build!

One of injector's for that faild a flow test, the day my motor started smoking I got a misfire code.After looking at some log's with uprev and doing to calulations. I dont like where my duty cycle is so I am going with a bigger set this time around.As the days went the car started smoking more and ,we yanked the motor out in about 5-6 hours.The engine is being assembled now took forever to get all the parts.I am tempted to do a Turbo set up now but I am curios to see the end result.

I remember a while back Vortech had a bunch of bad blower's that was going around that sucks for the customers car you worked on.
