What are the differences between the v1 and v2 superchargers? When did the v2 come out, and is Stillen the only one to carry the kit?

v1 is loud
v2 falls apart, this is my understanding

stillen can also provide either kit upon request

Exactly

V1 Rocked. Specially if you like the sound of a Vortech SC. Which I do.

V2 Is a POS (Well, atleast the stillen kit that uses it is).. It's supposed to be more quiet but I don't think that is always true. And stillens kit has so many problems it's not even funny.

I think the main difference had something to do with the way the gears are cut. The V2 is less efficent but more quiet. Other then that I don't know.

I'm not sure what the changes Stillen made to the kit are, but I wish they still had their older kits with the V1.

V2 uses helical cut gears like in most modern transmissions. V1 uses straight cut gears which are are a little stronger much much noisier in operation. Ever heard how loud a race car transmission is? Straight gears there. Same noise you get from the V1.
