One issue I noticed while doing my constant checks on everything was that I don't like the current locations of the oil lines going into/coming out of the supercharger.

I know that the supercharger was fully functioning in its current configuration and orientation but I do not feel comfortable running it now that way. Currently the oil feed is underneath and uses the spray nozzle to shoot oil up at the gears, and then the current drain location is higher up so there would be an excess amount of oil sitting in the supercharger. That also means the gears would be spinning in a bath of oil, not just sprayed with oil like its designed to be. That would result in frothy oil I'd think. To fix this, I'll be moving the oil inlet nozzle to the hole up top and the drain fitting will be relocated to the lower position. That should take care of it and all I have to do is redo the -8AN line that goes from the S/C to the pump. Luckily I still have enough leftover length. I'm gonna buy a new -4 AN line to run from the feed off the engine to the S/C.

I did notice this a while back and figured I'd address it at a later date, well now is that time. No big deal but just one of those things that come up with full custom setups.
