Im getting closer to getting a supercharger. I'm not completely sure if Im going with a paxton novi 1000 or the base vortech kit. I posted a thread to get videos of the paxton novi 1000 but only got one response and it wasn't a very good video. I like that the v-1 is loud but I'm leaning towards the novi 1000. I hope the novi 1000 isn't too quiet though. Anyways, I was doing some research on the differences between the two kits and there was a debate on helical cut gears and straight cut gears. Here is what someone posted....
"The differences is the V1 has straight cut gears which generates all the noise. The V2-SQ has helical cut gears which has almost no noise. This also plays a potential difference in reliability. Helical cut gears generate additional thrust on the bearings which can promote wear. Straight cut gears have nearly no perpendicular thrust and are generally more reliable."
Is this true? Reason I ask is because the novi 1000 has helical cut gears. Also, once again if anyone has any video or sound clips of the novi 1000 please post them. Or if you can tell me how the novi 1000 sounds compared to a v-1.
