Default Whats the quietest SC system?

Thinking of boosting a new engine set up and I'm trying to make it quiet as possible I'm already getting HUGE hassles from the pork patrol as it is.

So I'd like to know who makes the quietest system available? Looking to boost a 6.0L to around the 550 rwhp range. Thanks

Powerdyne. Belt driven head unit. There are other problems with this brand however. Do search on the name. I ran one for a year and 1/2 with no problems.

Hmm I just searched it out and they appear to be as reliable as a lada so I'll be steering clear of one of them.

Maggie?

P-1SC any quieter than a D-1SC?

if youre looking for a supercharger get a TVS.. like on the ZR-1 or CTS-V..

Or turbo's quiet down the exhaust considerably.

The new eaton TVS blowers are VERY quiet. There are a lot of TBSS guys with them who are very surprised how much more quiet they are than the previous generation superchargers.

When I had the SQ G-trim it was very quiet. My YSi is pretty quiet too, only car guys know it's blown.
