Just a thought for you to consider.
The oil/foam coming out of the Vortech Supercharger can, at times, restrict oil from FROM the supercharger with too small of a return line diameter.
The bubbles created by the oil and gears inside the supercharger drive unit will almost always break and the oil will flow with the larger diameter return line.
When I did Belt driven Vortech and Paxton supercharger testing at my job, we always ran the larger rubber hose vs the smaller 3/8" hose because of the wall friction.
Now if you were running a aluminum or steel tube the walls are much smoother and the bubbles ability to block the drain of oil is greatly reduced. We ran the minimum of rubber hose at the two locations, out of the supercharger nipple and into the oil pan nipple.
Just something to think about.
Some "self contained oil" superchargers can get very hot in the oil/gear case.
