Just keep it that you stayed with a supercharged C5. End of story. The C5's have a bunch of stability and traction control devices that could explain his good traction and also lack of acceleration. Just a thought.

What s/c's dont whistle or whine? No way a LT1 should keep up with a modded C5.

Some newer superchargers with helical gears don't whine. The older ones, and the more powerful ones (which use straight-cut gears) whine.

Centrifugals don't whine. Reread my post, I stated not all superchargers whine. He didn't mention anything about a whistle.
