Its the S-trim without the SQ (super quiet) option. It makes the same hp as the SQ, just is a little less expensive and it makes a decent amont of blower whistle. Essentially it sounds like a squeaky belt at idle, and turns into a strong whistle at WOT.

SOme guys LOVE the sound, some dont want it because they dont want to "give themselves away"

It's personal choice.

That's the one I want. I don't care if it's loud, I love the intimidation factor.

I agree. The sleeper look ( not that the SQ is quiet by anymeans) but its like hey I spent all this money on a blower and you would never know it . I spent 3K+ on my superchager I want people to know its there.

They are both noticable...the V-1 has striaght cut gears hence the loud "whistle" and the V-2s have helical-cut gears to make them a tad quieter. All in all practically the same blower as far as performance, same hp rating, same cfm, but the V2 can be spun a lil harder.

Hope this helps
Chris

I had a V1 S-trim and V1 T-trim. With the hood up I had to scream if someone was standing next to me...it sucked when I was adjusting the FMU though with that whistle. But damn that was a badass sound!

Damn, I mentioned the FMU...man those were to good ole days...lol.

Oh and to correct Chris a little b/c I like to give him crap...the V1 has a 3.45:1 step-up ratio as compared to the V2 which has a 3.60:1...so the V2 will build boost a tad quicker. Sorry Chris shouldn't leave those open for me..lol.
