Default Vortech Rattle

Below is a video of my car with the vortech tuner kit installed. The rattle is what concerns me. The rattle is coming form the blower itself. I know it's supposed to rattle a bit, but i think this might be too much. Thoughts?

thats a bit more than normal but the lower the RPM the worse it gets... is your AC on or anything? what is your idle RPM?

have the dealer raise the idle and it will sound better

which pulley are you using? the rattle lessens with each upgrade. the rattle seems to go away at higher rpms.

I was charged 65 for the bump. Mine was set to 900 at idle but wierd part is when it's in gear it drops to around 875 so I would bump urs to 950 if possible.
