Default Magnuson owners, come inside?????

Have a 2000 C-5 with the Lingenfelter/Magnuson Supercharger. When the vehicle is reved up from idle when taking off from a stop, the vehicle has a very pronounced whistle. Is this normal or is there some vacuum leak or other problem. It also occurs under light throttle load under cruise conditions or when you are leaning into the throttle to accelerate but not generating any boost.

Thanks in advance!!!

should be normal, my magnusson AKA eaton does it...... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> also you may not be generating boost but you are at at the verge (sp?) of doing soo if you can read vacuum on your gauge, like mine you will see it goes from vaccum to 0-1 psi it starts to whine..... I love the sound its awesome, the lightnings make the sound, the new cobra do too.
