[QUOTE="IUP99snake, post: 12567118, member: 7060"] Prochargers should make a clean metallic noise caused by the resonance of the gears. It goes away as the rpm's increase. Vortechs and Paxton's have a metallic growling noise sometimes. If it sounds like its gonna blow, it's gonna blow. About 11 years ago, a shop my friend owns fitted a prototype Paxton Novi 3000 on a 5.0 motor. Brand new blower and it sounded like a dryer full of gravel. Sure enough, after a half hour, the thing got so hot and screwed up, the case just split open and it spilled its guts. If you are really worried about it, just pull the blower off and try to spin it by hand. It should spin very easily, but it will have a lot of inertia because of the gearing. Once it's spinning, its gonna want to keep spinning until it winds down slowly on its own. It shouldnt stop spinning as soon as you stop turning the pulley. If it stops spinning as soon as you let go, if it feels gritty or difficult, that's another story. [/QUOTE]
