Be careful! Put some painters tape around both sides of the blades and the blade shafts. You don't want aluminum dust in there or you'll be chasing an idle problem for a while. ;) Try not to burr up the flat faces that mate the parts. Using high temp rtv as a gasket will cure that of course. It is a good start! I don't think you'll see much gain from that though. The real key is inside the supercharger itself. You want to practice on other stuff before you do that though. :up:

Thanks for taking the time to take a look and comment.The tape is a good idea that I will use.It's hard to see but,the polishing came out pretty good,better than I expected..

:D Pictures never do justice! Something else nice to use is a good set of calipers so you can tell wall thickness when porting. It's much easier to remove more than to put it back! (TIG welding can be fun too) :beer:

I will def say I've seen a lot of ported parts in my day and Bill's work is excellent, on par with or better than most I've seen. You've got natural talent, bud!
