Did you not gap your plugs DOWN? It specifically states this in the Vortech manual. Running stock gap can lead to funny issues.
The oil you see in front of the impeller is most likely from the front valve cover breather. Remember, you connected it to the elbow on the intake just before the blower.

Damn Viper, Quick Reply,

Thanks for the help, I have NGK's gapped at 0.035 I did not read the part in the manual about the gap.
What plugs are you running?
I need to replace mine and I would like to try something different.

I ran the OEM plugs gapped "down" to 0.034" for over a year without problem. I've only recently gone to the NGK V-Power racing plugs (one step colder), also gapped down. For the last month or so, they have been working just fine. I've just received my Denso Iridium IK-24's in the mail and I'll throw those in once I've used up my 2 sets of NGKs.

Im having a hard time looking up plugs with NGK's web site.
Do you know what the part # is on the race plugs?

Thanks
Matt

Can you describe the surging at 8K? Are you able to power down after 8K? Could it be a slipping clutch?

NGK stock # 7173 is a R5672A-8, 1 range colder than stock, non-resistor plug
NGK srock # 7405 is a R5672A-9, 2 ranges colder than stock, also a non-resistor plug

Most SC'd owners are using the 8's. I briefly swapped to the 9's in a attempt to eliminate some detonation I was having in winter with oxygenated fuel.
