What kinda blower is it?.. self contained oil system(Kenne Bell/Powerdyne)or does it have an oil line like the (Vortec's)..maybe its low on oil?

Raise the idle, and tighten the hell out of the belt. My car did that till I tightened up the belt, what was causing the grinding was the tensioner rattling from the belt shaking...

I would raise the idle if I were you. I got mine idling at 1000rpms and the computer tuners as well as reputable shops say it is fine. How long are you ever idling anyway? Personally I bet there isnt nothing wrong with the blower, its just getting ready to dye from such a low idle. Just my opinion from working on my own car.

We all like our cam to shake the car like a mf but it will be better at a higher rpm. My opinion.
