Slopoke's supercharger failure and pics

Some of you may know Slopoke's pitiful (It kills me to say) 16.4 sec. et. Trying to crack into the 15's the supercharger was swapped to no avail. Thinking there was belt slip, cogs were going to be installed. This came to an abrupt stop, the pulley was binding INTERNALY  :beatyoass:  This charger was screwed (no pun intended). Upon disassembly, it was found that the impeller and case was damaged. Does anyone know where to get the specs on an overhaul or could it even be overhauled?
 Slopoke's already slow enough and needs all the help it can get    :hick:

 Thanks,
 Mike

even without the SC that thing should be running well into the 13's or low 14's.

We'll see when it goes back to the track, if it's in the 14's I would be very happy. I believe 13's are out of the question with out tires and more bolt ons, especially dual exhaust.
