Default What happens to a top mount SC when sprayed

I have a Magnuson TVS2300 on an LS3 that spins around 19/20k on 16psi ish. Can anyone tell me what's happening with the SC while its being sprayed with a 150 shot? I've not had any problems so far but I've not shot it that much either. I'm just curious what's going on with the SC while its being sprayed? Can it damage it? Could it wear out parts a lot faster, ect?Any precautions to look out for?

I run a plate kit with 150 shot. Does it make the SC spin a lot faster to the point I need to be worried about wear and tear on the internals?

Only way it could spin faster is if you are revving the engine higher

I had a buddy with an S281 Saleen mustang with a roots style blower on it years ago, he added a 50 shot on it and gained over 100lb ft of torque at the tires. You may not pick up a ton of power, but it'll make more torque on the hit.

I picked up over 7mph with a 50 shot through my maggie.
Iats kill power in a roots blower, especially once theyre overspun a bunch.
From my experience with it i would definitely reccomend it
