One more question........ How safe will the Novi1000 be on my motor, it's at 89,000 miles? Any issues running it in the winter? Temps here get into the single digits.........

[silverstang93]

well my car has about 120k on it and it seems to be doing OK but as far as the winter thing goes i dont think you are suppose to start the engine if it is below 25 deg. It is either you cant start if or if you do start it you have to let it warm up before you drive it.

well here's my thoughts. Worse comes to worse and i had to drive the car and i was nervous about the cold start up all i'd do is take off the belt till it warmed up. 3-9/16" bolts. Cause when it's cold around here(snowing) you can't use more than 100 horses anyway.

Okay I consulted the owners manual....
"In order to achieve the low noise level of Paxton Superchargers, Paxton specifies precise manufacturing procedures that call for minimal internal clearances. These precise tolerances, however, are not conducive to temperatures below 25*F. Therefore storing the vehicle in a heated garage and/or aftermarket engine blanket is required when the vehicle is subjected to a "cold start-up" in ambient temperatures below 25*F. Failure to comply with this may result in immediate supcharger failure and invalidate the superchargers warrenty.

Crap! Well, I guess that kills that idea........ Back to looking at the Kenne Bell - they told me "as long as the engine will run, there will be no problem with the blower". Damn!

Thanks everybody!!

If you want this style of blower get a V-1 S-Trim. Those things last forever.

I don't want that much noise, though.

Trying to keep things as covert as possible.......... :)

I see, someone likes to do a little street racing I presume :D

[cevtv]

Nah.....that was 15 years ago. I just want the power to be there, if I need it, without advertising the fact.
