Right that is the sound, the blower belt is tight and the serpentine belt has an auto-tensioner. It sounds like a bad bearing or a loose bolt. I am going to keep an eye on it for now, but when I do the oil change I going to put a wrench on everything. I checked all the bolts by hand and none were loose.

you know! i heard that Vortech does not check their blowers before shipping them out.
"the vortech can make a "broken sound" at idle. It normally makes a clunky, rattle where something just sounds broken on the car. To solve that, you might try increasing your idle rpms up to at least 900 rpms. Going to a smaller pulley also helps because they spin the blower faster, even while at idle. A dealer can increase the idle on earlier model cars. There's other ways too like ECU flashes, AAM's Cipher tool, some shops carry Consult II's which is what dealers use, some aftermarket engine managements can raise the idle. Some people have drilled a tiny 1/8 inch hole in their throttlebody which generally isn't recommended because it's permanent and an expensive part."
I have read this before and forgot the above note. When I get it tuned I will rasie the idle rpm. Do you know if they removed the speed limiter with the stillen tune because I was able to hit a speed that I thought wasn't possible in these cars.
Glad you got it started. Sounded exactly like mine did/.. I had hot starting issues too. The Stillen tune SUX , Huge time, Get your tune will fix everything, I have ZERO issues on my custom tune..
