Thank for the clips, it sounds sick! Sounds like the maggie whines louder than the one on my 10' SS did you put a cog drive on it?

Yes sir! I asked how prevalent the whine was at idle and the guy says "you want the cog drive kit then!" All I needed to hear! Best $300 I spent!

The key to the whine is the cog drive that they released for their blowers.

I looked closer at your photos, I see it is the f-body drive. Did the remainder of the pulleys, brackets and such come with the super charger or was there some fabricaion involved?

Very nice! What mods did you do to the motor: studded head bolts, upgraded rod bolts, forged?, etc?

No fabrication at all. Just bought the GTO kit and it came with everything needed, which was just the pulley on the jackshaft and adjacent idler which is hard mounted on the front of the blower base. Everything else was in my f-body set-up. Had to find a different serp. belt that worked and still gave me some adjustability was all.

Nothing - bone stock. 10lbs should be ok?

Let me dig through my bankers box full of notes and receipts.. I'll see if I can find the my radiator and hose info.. Seems like I made 15 trips to Autozone to find hoses that fit perfect! Hopefully I documented it.... Thanks, Jason.
