Nah, she starts just off Idle all the way through redline. If mine whined at idle, it would have been replaced, if I were to keep it stock, mine had nowhere near enough power stock. My suggestion: remove it, grease needle bearings port the snout, and supercharger, add a cam, super chiller, exhaust and tune it. Then let it whine till it lets go. Then replace as needed. It's a bad ass car stock, but they have it way restricted. It can be so much more. If I had a problem like the op I would have a new supercharger installed. Just scares me somebody told him they need to drop the engine. I would check their credentials. I had a ton of mods done never ever dropped the engine. That scares me. Dealers, by nature are not very performance car informed. There used to working on stock Vettes and volts!!

The dealership will lower the cradle to get the blower off.. its not a big deal this car is a WALK IN THE PARK to work on compared to a vette.

Thanks Brandon, here is a quick update and maybe you can follow up on this thread so that all of us on C5 can know what's going: I picked up my car yesterday (Friday) after the dealership had it all week long. The service tech called me and said that they took a look at the 4 ZL1's they had on the showroom floor and started them up and the head service tech for the ZR1's & ZL1's definitely said that my blower had a problem and needed to be replaced. So they were going to order the part from the LA warehouse or from back east and it was a 2 day install. Well the service tech said that after further analysis and calling GM they talked to some engineers at the head plant as well as the service area manager for Chevy and apparently GM is aware of the problem on some of these TVS 1900 Blowers on our ZL1's. Rather than replace my defective blower with parts off the shelf that may also be defective, GM is currently working on a solution for a new part that should be installed. I'm not sure if this will justify a full blown recall (maybe Brandon can update us with this info), but bottom line is they are working on the situation. They released the car to me after talking with the engineers who said it's fine to drive the way it is (just don't do any drag racing ). Anyway, I'm glad to have the car back, but kinda bummed that the issue still isn't resolved after being without the car a whole week

Thanks for the update. I hope you get it resolved. I'm curious as to what the "fix" will be? I visited mine at the dealer today sitting on two jackstands! I hope to have it back next week.

I heard a strange noise on start-up but found out it was just my heart racing.

*UPDATE* On Supercharger Noise
*UPDATE* The dealership called me last week and said the part arrived and I could bring it in this Friday so they could do a 1 day turn around time. Sadly, yesterday the noise became so loud and constant (would not go away after startup) that driving around was completely embarrassing. Here I am in this blacked out and sick looking car which is dropped and looks mean as hell and draws all kinds of attention and it sounds like an old station wagon. The supercharger is definitely screwed, so I dropped it off this morning at Connell chevy and we'll see what they say. On another note, I watched the retard who drove my car around the back stall my engine Why do they have these guys handle cars they know they shouldn't even be sitting in?!
