With the volumetric efficiency of this engine it would make a way more power with larger
displacement. The 3.7 would do wonders if it was strong the same can be said for the DE.
At that point though better of going with a set of Turbo's witch is what i plan to do once I max this set up out.

First off, I'm very sorry to hear about your motor. Odd that it was only cylinder number 2 that failed. Any theories as to why?
As far as the blower failure, yes, it was the bearings. We didn't think we were overspinning it either and our math showed that. However, Vortech was adamant that we were overspinning it and refused the warranty (the blower wasn't even 3 months old at the last failure). The biggest problem was that it was a V-2 unit and of course when it took a crap, it took the motor with it. When Vortech denied the warranty, the customer was done and washed his hands of the whole supercharger business and went with our Twin Turbo system that he is enjoying to this day.
I wish you luck with your build!
