My old 00 GT was supercharged with a novi1000 and it made the whistle sound at idle. Oh I miss that....

My procharger has more of a whistle than a whine. And, you can run a BOV if you have your MAF in a Blow through position. You most likely already do, since you have a procharger, but double check anyway. You can also just use your Bypass valve as a BOV by venting into the atmosphere instead of back into the intake. But 2000GT4.6 is right, if you change the MAFs location, it will require re-tuning.

My Procharger whistles at idle with ticking sound kind of like an old clock. Above 3,000 rpm is where you can really hear the supercharger whine.

I actually think the whistle of my procharger is ALOT louder at a flat idle. It gets drowned out as RPM increases, i dont know if thats because of the offroad midpipe and LM1s or not, but it is definatly LOUD at idle.

prochargers are kinda like mustangs, with signature sounds. What these guys are sayign is right, you can run a BOV, however whether that is a good idea remains to be seen. Ive done some research on this, tuning seems to be an issue most of the time due to lack of experience with this, also there is a good chance that a bov will contribute to increased stock ring wear from the rich condition associated with them. I have seen 2 or 3 that have run the bov setup, non of them ran right and lower ets afterwards... now how many factors you could attribute that is a toss up, but I think that recircualting setup is better. maybe somebody w/ this setup will chime in
