SC just installed 2 questions
Do you have to cut the fan shrowd? My cut does not look very good. Also the sc whines/whisles loudly at 3k but goes away at high rpms. Is this normal? The superchager is a used Comptech with 6k miles on it. Thanks for all the help.

Noone I know has had to cut the fan shroud. If you do, something is not quite right. All superchargers have a distinctive "whine". The only reason it "goes away" at higher rpm is that other engine and exhaust noise drowns it out. They also have a bit of "gravelly" sound coming from the bearing. The Comptech has this more so than a Vortech.

For a kit that costs as much as this, it's a shame that such an alteration must be made.

I think it might be the installer because some people also have problems with the aftercooler hitting the hood and some don't. I'm sure that you can tighten things a certain way so that it will not touch.
