Hi folks. Quick question hopefully someone can answer.
When I was running my 98 engine and 5 speed, the Vortech used to be extremely loud and you could hear it a half block away.
Now that I've swapped engines (now running 2000 engine) and swapped to an automatic (stop laughing), the same Vortech you can barely hear.
I'm not complaining because the car is still making great boost, etc I'm just wondering if a lot of this *noise level* from the rock crusher is due to the idle different (5 speed vs automatic). The 5 speed tends to idle right @ the sweet spot 1k rpm (the loudest) whereas the automatic idles right around 700rpm.
Just wondering if anyone else has run into this scenario before?
Thanks,
Tim
