Increase super charge whine
I’ve tried to search this before but have come up short. Have you been able to increase the whine of your super charger? In my GTS, I can hear it whine just a bit but was thinking it would sound even better if the whine was a bit louder. Perhaps a cold air intake or so could help? Not sure what causes the whine

Addressing the subject of supercharger whine as a sole/separate question, the gearing in a SC determines whether it will whine or not.
The Vortech centrifugal series is a good example of that.
The Vortech V1 is a straight gear centrifugal SC and it is sold primarily for the whine; whereas the V2/V3s have helical gears and do not whine. I did one install of a V1 on a Mustang and it definitely screamed at you. I've done several V3s (one of which was my C6 with an LS3) and they're quiet as church mice.
