So one of my friends says my V1 sounds like it has shaft play in it because when I get into the upper RPMS it almost sounds like a a bandsaw (I am not sure how accurate this comparison is) . I took the blower off and the shaft does not move side to side or back and forth at all. Since its a V1 I assume its supposed to be loud but I want to make sure the blower is ok before I put it on my new motor. Any input on what to look for would be great..

before you jump the gun, make sure you dont have belt slip.

It definately doesnt sound like a belt slipping, its kind of hard to explain the sound. Honestly I think its just the normal loud V1, but my friend thinks differently.

maybe you should get a video up then

does it sound like its whining or whistling?

It's probably normal. Mine sounded almost like a big rig spooling up when it was reved up.

Its more of a whining if I had to choose one out of the 2...

whinning good, clacking bad

Eduardo

yeah i think your bearings are shot. thats how mine sounds and im going to rebuild mine myself pretty soon, waaaaay cheaper than what vortech charges.

Well your v2 is supposed to be a lot quieter than my v1...
