More whine?

Has anyone plugged the four silencer ports in the supercharger case to get more whine from the supercharger?

Several people have.

However the way they did it is different.
Some used JB weld and have good result so far, but With the vibrations from teh engine I wouldn't trust it.

Others, weld it in, and grind it smooth, however yo have to be careful not to warp the case.

One thing you may want to consider is PORTING THE EATON, you get a louder whine AND more power.

If you add a CAI (like PSP or JLP ram air) the sound is MUCH LOUDER.

Hey Leeann, thanks for asking, well the estimate was $9,000 in damage and they're still working on it, the due date they say will be 31st of this month. I miss my baby sooo bad, I'm stuck with a Toyota.

Maybe you guys could help me out with a decision. I'm thinking of making the body shop smoothe the tailgate and eliminte the emblems thus covering the holes for the emblems. If they did that I could still have the emblems on by cutting off the protuding studs from the emblem and just sticking them on with the 3m tape, or just leave the tailgate looking clean, what do you think?

Here are some updated pics for you.

Shave what you can right now while you can!!! like you said if you don't like it you can always 3M it back on but i think you will love the smooth look. Hell shave the tailgate handle while you are there...... hell shave the front emblems too............wait hold on i'm getting a little out of hand, but you know Shaved is always better!

Find a good welder and have him make plugs that fit in each hole. Then just weld the plugs to the blower, this will help keep the temps from warping the case. A good aluminum welder is a must! I had a guy that builds race cars do mine.
