OK, so for the past two days, my car would make a whistle sound from the supercharger whenever I gave it gas, and was different than the supercharger whine, I mean it was a high pitched whistle. Now today, drove fine to my brothers ball game, and after, started it up and went to hit to get on the highway, and no power! I can't stand not having my SC! Somebody please help me! Any ideas on what I should do? Thanks in advance! ~Brad

U can run with out the */C.....But i'* real doggy though for the */C'd cars are of a lower compression. I'm thinking maybe a bad BCS? As Harofreak stated.....Pop the belt off and see how it turns. And then we shall go from there.

Yup, it does....I've seen it before on a GTP that limped to a friends house one day with a fragged */C belt. Just like to point out too, I forgot to in my first post, */C'* don't just "stop" working. Normally something else going on to affect the performance of the */C.
Do you know where that whistle is coming from?

I can only hear it when I am driving under hard acceleration, and it sounds like the */C. I will have to take the belt off tomorrow night after work and take a look at it. Thanks
