S/C sound?
Tuesday, June 05, 2007 8:54 AM
Do all blowers sound sexy? I've driven lots of turbo'd cars and just love the sound. I'd love to try a S/C because of the powerband, but I'm curious about the sound..what's the difference in sounds between the different types of chargers?

My GTP used to make this crazy ass whining noise when I gave it some gas, so I tooking to the dealer to complain, they took the belt off that thing on top of the engine, now it is quiet as a kitten. Problem solved.

That obviously gave you more horsepower as well. How much you think you gained?

i dunno. i heard that thing restricts airflow like a motha. that and the parasidic loss, you had to gain at least 35hp.

I've always thought the 3.8L Ford blower sounded good.
