supercharger
The Vortech has been off of the car for some time until I figure out my oil loss/number 5 cylinder issue.
Since the supercharger is supplied via the same oil sump, the last thing I want to do is oil-starve it. I have heard (not personally experienced it yet) that supercharger failures due to lack of lubrication are not pretty and that it is easier to have happen than you would think. I don't want to take a chance with a 3k unit.
So, I am naturally aspirated for now, but after I fix this thing, re-install the Vortech and re-tune it, I am hoping to see somewhere around 450 rwhp @ 8 psi. I am installing "umbrella" style valve seals Friday on the problem cylinder.
