Do you have an oil temp gauge? what was it reading during those high speed runs? I know mine will creep up with the turbo, I would imagine a SC would be worse.
The Vortech V-3 SCi supercharger has an internally lubricated Transmission

The outside temperature that day was about 12 -18°C (50-65 F)
The engine oil temperature was never higher than 110°C (230 F)
during those high speed runs

The engine has been slightly unbalance after starting at the racetrack.
But this is only at idle Speed

Unfortunately I have no information about what is really going on yet?
