The oil line is installed as per Vortech's instructions. The supercharger will not fail because of inadequate lubrication. :)

Craig, I hope to see you in June. No fling for me, but if you make it to Vegas, stop by.

I like how they bolt a Vortech blower on the car, and call it a "Shelby Supercharger" ! What's more, the oil feed line needs to be moved. They've put the feed line 180 degrees out. It needs to enter the blower at about the point between the two idler pulleys. There'll be a brass plug still sitting in the correct hole. There is a gear drive inside the blower, and the top gear rotates clockwise as you look at the blower. The oil needs to squirt between the gears so that it lubricates the gears as the make contact. All the feed line is doing at the moment is spraying against the gear AFTER it has meshed with the lower gear. It'd be nice to spend that sort of money, only to have your supercharger fail some time down the track....


Jamo - I'm with you about that windscreen. If I just slouch a bit lower in my seat, I'm sure the bugs and small stones wouldn't be too bad. I wonder what it would be like to look through?

Kris - sorry to hear you can't make it to Ohio....

Are you sure about that blower??? ;) I wanted to mount my oil feed line on that side, and was told by Vortech in no uncertain terms that I WOULD hurt the blower if I did it that way. My reply was that it seemed supid to have the provision for the feed line there if it was never going to be used, and was told that it's mounted on that side for the counter-clockwise rotating blowers (as used on the Series 1 - fom memory)

Lubrication is good!
