Consider that even at idle the ZE supercharger system is capable of making boost, so if the throttle was after the SC youd have to be continually venting HEAPS of air - what an inefficient use of engine power! Consider everyday driving, with the engine at 4000rpm, just before a shift or the engine at high revs, with a big pulley too the SC is pumping enough air to make 12 psi or something...thats got to be noisey having that air pumped out continuously through a bypass valve! On the bright side if you like jet planes, I guess your car might sound like one. Nick '87 SC [Report message to a moderator]
