Procharger being loud??? I am interested in installing a procharger D1-SC supercharger on my 01 SS camaro, Buy i dont like the loud gear whine that comes from them.
This is why i wanted to know if anyone out there has installed a Novi 2000 on a LS1 F-body, or if someone was interested in fabing up mounting brackets to do this.
I called Procharger yesterday and asked them if there was a way to make the D1SC quite - Less noisey, The guy said yes , with gear Pitch and Lash adjustments,
I wanted to know if anyone has ordered there Procharger to be a quiet unit?
and if so , how do they like it?
I was thinking of adding one once of Lucus syntethic oil to the procharger oil during oil changes to quiet down the gear whine.
Thank you for your replys

Is the gear pitch and lash adjustment something that can only be done at Pro-charger? Or is it something that can be adjusted on the car? Where can we get more info on this.
I've also called pro-charger,....and they tell me there isn't anything you can do to quiet it down.
Also, you said "I was thinking of adding one once of Lucus syntethic oil to the procharger oil during oil changes to quiet down the gear whine".....is that something that is OK for the Pro-charger unit, and will it really help?
I've heard about the SDCE set-up.....but I've heard that it will reduce the Rattling noise of the,...and not the whine. This kind of makes sense to me....since the blower gears is where the whine is coming from....and your not changing that out with the SDCE set-up.
I have the pro-charger on my car,...and am interested in ways of quieting down the whine as well. So any additional info would be appreciated.

the Lucus addtive is my idea, and i think adding only a once or so will quiet up the gears somewhat, The lucus is made for better lubication for gears and this oil additve helps prevent gear wear by keeping oil on the gears. this might cause a better cushing effect between the two drive gears inside the supercharger,
I dont mind a little whine , but some cars i heard with a p1ch or d1sc was very loud, This is not what i want.
i have FLP long lubes with there Y pipe running into my stock duel-duel SLP exhaust , so the car has a nice smooth sound to it .
A loud D1 would spoil it .

i have heard only one Paxton novi 2000 on a mustang cobra, and it sounded nice to me , no squeling gear sound like the procharger, but Yes you can still hear ari rushing , that sound is OK with me,
Who is SDCE, how much is there spring tensioner. I also heard that this quiets down the prochargers a bit

Prochargers are typically louder than a Vortech unit. Vortech has their SQ "Super Quiet" series which utilizes Helical cut gears instead of striaght cut spur gears. "All" superchargers have the whine, which cannot be avoided. Personally, I enjoy the sound of a Procharged car at idle, and of course at WOT! 
In any event, I don't believe you can quiet down the Procharger much. Worst comes to worst, buy a Vortech unit.

Not totally true, the roots stlye are much quieter, not the screw style roots but the old school roots. No one has a clue I am running 12lbs of boost till I pop the hood. Totally dead silent at idle and up to 3-4k rpms. You have to listen really close and know its there to hear it at WOT.

Yes when you install heads and a cam , u lose boost do to increased air flow , so now you have to spin the supercharger faster,
On the f-body it is a V2 SQ G trim, which is a small blower,
On the Vette it is a V2 SQ S trim, which is a much beter blower.
Besided i would have to cut up my SS hood, because the Vortech mounts high up ,
I am not cutting my hood.

Im not saying you cant, just that its ballsy considering ATI has warnings all over the charger about not to do that. Maybe they know something you dont? Id ask ATI about that deal before I tried it. Why dont you just buy one and have them do the lash adjustment? If the tech guy is right then there would be no need to add the Lucas.
