Lots or roar and rushing air sound (which is cool in its own right), but definitely no where near as loud as an Eaton.

when I am leaving they can hear it over the exhaust..
The video had the large pulley on it, it's louder now that I added 2psi
I'll have to see if I can get him to send me the raw video without the music.
but here it is anyway

Well, I have to admit, it does have a nice little whine to it. Louder than any other 1.7 i've heard.Blue70 said:I posted my video above, but here are two more with a 1.7

I don't hear a roar or rushing air sound, but I do hear a whine

But all that performance comes at a cost...it will NOT last as long as mine. I nail my car FREEGIN EVERY DAY, and most of the time about 2 or 3 6000-6.2K runs. If I had a KB, my engine would be gone by now lol...thats the thing I dont like. Worring about my engine letting go. .
Breaking them with a blower has probably got more to do with how it's tuned, than running the blower itself. I've never heard of a blown car going South because of a clogged fuel filter, or pump.hotmustang331 said:Heard of ALOT more S/C cars letting go vs N/A cars. Im just saying that I personally would be worried everytime I hit it. Not only that but if a filter clogs or fule pump stops working @ wot, my car will just die, S/C will go into a million pieces. Guess im just not the type for a S/C on my DD. My 66 however WILL get the treatment .
