Your supercharger could have tight tolerances and is more efficient as a windmill turning with the engines air flow. Do you see that the center is turning at the same speed as the pulley.

With it off mark with a sharpie the pulley and center and start it and stop it to see that they are not in alignment. I suspect your pulley is being drug along by manifold vacuum. Mine suprised me also.

Wanna know, do a Woody. Leave pully on as it normally sits, pop the fan belt off and start the motor, You can run it for a short time with out a belt, I drove home with a belt failure. With no belt the pulley will turn and there is no belt, just for your sanity and sense of understanding.

Woody twisting in the wind again, hee hee
