The Sounds of Superchargers

Now that everyone is posting pics of their power adders, I was hoping (well my wife wanted to know as it is her project camaro we are working on) that those of you with superchargers could post links to recordings of your engines. The only one I've been able to dig up is Maniac's D-1SC -- any input to how loud your setups are is welcome. Thanks.

What do you have it in, and does it fit under the stock hood?

The blower is on top of a .040 350 built for the blower. It barely fits under a 4 inch cowl hood with a low profile air breather but it will do it. Im going to try to fit is under a l-88 hood but not sure if its going to be high enough but we will see!

I don't have any sound clips, but I have a P1SC and it is very loud. Whenever I drive it people just stare w/ a puzzled look on their face. I love it, great sound and great power.

My Vortech is pretty loud too. I get the same looks StocRoc talks about. People who dont know stuff about cars think my car is broken. Right now its attached to a completely stock 111k mile L98 (yikes!). I'm going to change that in about a month and get it rebuilt.
