Default Bearing Noise or Is This Normal?

This is the first supercharged vehicle I've owned, and I have not heard anothe SRT-6. Can you guys tell me if this sounds normal to you. Sounds like a bearing to me, but as I said, I've never heard another one of these engines before. Thanks.

The louder whirring noise is just right. Is that a rattling noise? or is that the mic?

that is not good for the motor to start it with the accelerator pedal to the floor so it immediately goes to a high rpm like that. your motor sounds fine but i am sure if you start it like that often it will be on the fast track to engine damage.

Started it at idle and never went over about 2500 rpm.

if there is a growling sound check the alternator, the stock alternator is a POS. made in france. When it dies get a Bosch unit from RockAuto, I paid $120 for a rebuilt Bosch. it's a much better quality part.
