I'm opening the intake on the throttle body and the supercharger to 75mm and then making sure they match perfectly when put together.

so how does welding the silencers shut increase the whine output?
and does air flow go through the slits now, and if so wouldn't welding them shut reduce flow by a little reducing boost?

I have no idea, just want more info on this before we do this to mine.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure how it works. Besides, the amount the outlet will be opened will more then offset any air coming from the slits.

I've thought the same thing, and adding methanol into the mix........????

Hope to have my case back soon so I can get started on that. Then it all goes back together.
