Is it possible to make the V1 blower louder?

Is it possible to make the V1 blower louder?
After watching this video, I am in awe of how insanely loud that blower is: 600whp Slowbra SCREAMING at 40mph
I know it's a different type of Supercharger, and i've noticed that it is the exact opposite of the V1. The V1 is loud at idle and gets really quiet when you gas it. The roots types are really quiet under partial throttle, and SCREAM under full throttle.
Well, I think it would be cool to make our superchargers scream at full throttle too. Any reasonable way to do it? It's not gonna make or break any decisions, but I just think it would be awesome to have. Imagine how scary that must sound to other motorists.

just get an electric cutout so you can basically run open exhaust whenever you want. THen, it will be so loud that you wont even hear the blower, therefore, eliminating the problem

My car is noisy enough as it is... I guess I find it difficult to understand why people would like their cars even LOUDER...

Don't forget the oil feed.

is it possible for you to be happy with the blower you have?

Don't get me wrong, I am happy with my blower, very happy. I never said I wasn't. But just watch that video. Wouldn't it be insane to have a blower that sounded like that? It would scare the living hell out of your every day commuter, and even most the ricers. I just think it would be awesome if we could make our blowers whine like that!
Jay...this thread has nothing to do with LS1's or V8's. It has to do with superchargers whines...

Neat video. Your car, and blower, are extremely quiet. Bags brags about his torque, but it looked like he needed some more.....or at least that's what the camera guy thought Ramius's car sounded awesome. Sadler's car had nice burble to it, but had some ricey rasp that begs for a resonator.

not to defend baggs but I am quite sure he will wax you in a race. His car has more torque then your car does trust me on that one. We ran more then 8 times and one run up to 150.

If he wants to come down to Central Florida, I will be glad to show him what the poWah of the 5SpEed@10pSi IZZ aLL uHbOuT yO!!!!!
I think it would be really interesting to race bags or any turbo Max. I'm always up for a friendly race against a max, especially a boosted one.

what you dont know, he came over and tested his FP, and corrected the problem. His boosting 8PSI, what you dont understand is that hes completely spooled up before you even hit 7 PSI. You will not beat him, trust me on that one plus he has a MEVI and he has the longer gears while you are spinning in first he will pull away from you. Your not half modded as I am, and I have a hard time with him let alone you have a V1 which does not boost like the mighty quiet V2. Go to the track and pull some numbers, I am going to accompany him to the track and you ll see what I am talking about

Not the camera guy.. MAC..aka ming.. he was driving
he is correct I only have about 250-270 LBS TQ.. I AM GUESSING.. I have NOT been to the dyno with my current setup...
AND I do not remeber braggin about my TQ... I said I make more tha a SC MEVI maxima at the same PSI

Now, ming was driving my car not me.. I was on the grill... I am untuned and pushing about 8 PSI..
I do NOT have a SAFC or anyting else... just a Vortech FMU, T3/T4 turbo, and a 3 inch exhaust
Now I did use a FP gauge and try and "tune" my car as best as possible switching the disks in the fmu thanks ramius
and I would enjoy racing you in the SC max or the 4 runner I think it was

Jay: Calm down man.
What's your definition of "wax"? As far as torque, I can almost gaurentee you that my car is making more torque than your car, since your MEVI is sucking out all the low end torque. A certain someone (no name yet) with an IDENTICAL setup as mine is making 330+whp and 280+wtq, and probubly starting at a much lower RPM than your 260lbft. Now, the only difference is exhaust. I am running a flowmasters camaro muffler, which will give me LT1 torque, so i'll probably be making around 330tq to the wheels. But anyways, "waxing" someone in a race in my definition, is totally destroying them. Now, if my car is potentially as fast as yours, with more torque, what makes you think he will wax me? Please don't get offended, just asking.
#28
Um, that Camaro muffler isn't going to give you LT1 torque. You don't actually believe that backpressure is good for torque do you? i really hope you're joking about that 330 tq number. How can you guarantee your car is making more torque than jamie's? MEVI may take away low end torque, but peak torque numbers are still up.
How is a V1 on a 3.125 pulley going to make 330 whp w/ no MEVI. I'd like to see that dyno. Matt didn't even lay down those kinds of numbers on a 3.125, neither did Kevin.
Here's the difference, Jamie has dynod his car. He knows what kind of numbers it puts down. He has run his car at the track, so he knows what kinds of times it runs. You've done neither. All you have are comparisons to other cars with "identical setups" and guessing. I hate to use this term, but that's riceboy logic and math. Not calling you one, but your comparisons aren't valid. You can't just say that your friend's car is making torque at a lower point than Jamie's just because you think it is. You'd have to compare dyno plots.
If you want to race a turbo max, check with Jason. He'd be happy to oblige if you guys are close enough.

no sweat
I did not take offense or get mad.. ming needs a swift kick in the shin , but other than that everything is cool
I will only say this... DYNO wise.. jay's car is in the top 5 WHP maxima's on this board.
1/4 mile times.. are a little low @ 13.5 but the trap of 108/109 MPH is good enough for a 12.99
but when push comes to shove it's all fun to me win or lose

Did he run those times at commerce?
