We have had some cars go over 100k after being supercharged and still going, if you do not hear/see/feel anything going on with it then just do your routine oil changes if it's self contained or keep up with your engine oil changes if not and enjoy the car.

You're not gonna make any money like that Doug.

You should be making & selling Gen II, Gen III brackets, upgraded innercoolers, upgraded dongles & charge tubes.

Send it in if you feel it needs one then.

Doug never stated that you shouldn't rebuild your blower. All he stated stated, was that he has customers who have put over 100K miles on their blowe systems. I'm sure these cars are close to stock and the blowers are not overspun Ect.

It seems like your looking for someone to tell you that you need to rebuild it. You can do it for peace of mind if you wish. It's not that expensive to have Vortech/Paxton go through your blower to make sure it's good to go.

I've had lots of fun racing your old 402ci motor buddy, I'm sure the new one will be even better. It was not long ago you made me blow up a motor or two. Good luck on the new build, you have alot of good people behind you.
