well considering that anything past 6400 rpms overspins the blower...
i just dont know if the bearings are what fails or the impeller itself explodes. Other sites seems to insinuate the impeller comes apart.
either way, hes running with zero problems, so maybe those impeller speeds dont mean much anyhow

I way overspun a roots style blower on my 03 cobra for 2 years......and the guy who bought it from me still runs the same setup I had. I think the manu's are pretty conservative.

The car pulls hard all the way to 7100, but I don't seem to be making more boost. Maybe a very small amount. What does that tell you.........
Also the Max Impeller speed Rating of the Blower is just a calculated Number, and Warranty is part of it.
Anyway, 38,000 miles on the blower with 6600 RL, about 1000 miles with 7100 RL, 4 runs, and a hell of a lot of Tuning in the higher rpm range, so far so good.

I had my Vortech on for little less than a year, but never took it to the track. On a stock clutch/flywheel whats the "ideal" rpm to launch to minimize spin? Sorry for the noob question.

I have weighed it on a certified scale.
Very nice run!!!
EDIT..did not know there was a debate about weight..I was just curious and hadn't read all the posts.

Why does your car weigh so much? I have a 03 Touring with nav etc and it only weighs 3360 with spare tire, jack etc and a half tank of gas...and big *** heavy 19's.

Very nice run!!!
