Default started the blower install tonight!!!!

well... not to good of progress so far... the tank for the aftercooler is mounted, the small radiator for the aftercooler is mounted, and a hose and the pump are good to go (still have to wire the pump so if anyone knows what to do for it, let me know). and ive got the new injectors and spark plugs on... i had to stop mounting the vortech because i need a 3 inch ribbed idler pulley instead of the stock 3.25 inch pulley... does anyone have a clue where i can get one?

finally done installing the blower... started it up and it ran fine.. burned off alittle fuel that was on the intake and it didnt drip or loose oil pressure or leak fuel at all... mission completed. its got a pretty loud whine at idle, you can tell its got something under the hood... is this normal for the S-trim SQ? im also reading about 14 psi of vaccum... is this the normal vaccum? im just trying to see if i have any leaks or anything... i rev it up alittle and it will go to 10.. i havent gotten the motor above 2k yet.

you get it tuned yet? my vortech has a pretty loud whistle at idle and when you get to about 2000rpm, you can't hear the thing over the exhaust anymore.

Can you get some installation pictures up? About how long did the install take? I have always done all my own work on my cars but I have never even looked into a supercharger installation. I am starting to get brave enough to think I might try and then immediately after install just go get it professionally tuned. Good or bad idea?
