Just got my car with the Paxton unit installed.

I know there is a whine associated with all superchargers. I've only driven a whipple up until this point so some new "sounds" I believe are normal but I'm not sure of.

When I let off the clutch to change gears, I believe I can hear the fan blades in the supercharger, it sounds a bit like a plastic fan tapping the sides of a fan. I'm not sure if that makes sense or not, but when I'm on it, nothing, when I'm shifting you hear that fast (tap, tap, tap, tap) but it's much faster paced. It's most distinct between 1st and 2nd, but you do hear it between the others. Again, 99% sure this is normal, but just checking. It's not a whine, it's a different sound.

Thanks.

 

I don't have any sound like that from my Vortech- but then again with my exhaust it would probably be hard to hear.

 

I'm think'in you have become deaf at a young age of 32ish. Yeah??? But your exhaust does sound awesome!! BTW...I could not hear your Vortech over your exhaust at Brenspeeds Dyno Day! FWIW!

I listened a bit more. It's not so much tapping, as it is the sound of air against a fan. Kind if like if you rolled your tongue, and blew out with a very slight whistle. I'm guessing it's just the boost being released. Car drives fine. Just wondering.

 

Does the Paxton kit come with a surge valve? It sounds like the surge valve opening and closing....

 

WHAT??? Speak up pops!!

LOL that's funny, I'll be 32 tomorrow.

 

Do I need to come back to D. Indiana and Bitech slap ya? Happy B' day BTW!!! Be good!
Scott

 

Thanks Scott!

 

Pop's and Young Gun! One is full and is drained. Man I wish I could have made to Brent's dyno day and seen you guys stand-up act in person. I think you two are about ready for Las Vegas........

 

I don't think they let old timers like you two into Vegas do they??? Too much liability......

 

Happy Birthday Tom, wow 32 years old ! I've got hair in my ear's older than that!! I'm sorry.......
