Supercharger break-in (?)

So, I just had my supercharger installed yesterday and I'm wondering if any of you guys knew whether or not there is a break-in period.

I've searched on Google for the answer, but haven't been able to find an answer.

Sweet, on your TSX? I recommend contacting the supercharger manufacturer to find out the recommended break-in period. I'm sure there's a break-in for S/Cs, not really sure for which parts, possibly the belts?

All in due time...

For now, I just want to know if I'm doing anything harmful by redlining it (which I've done a bunch already)...

No break-in necessary, as the blower has no self-sealing friction surfaces.

no break-in necessary...after about 100miles check the belt to ensure it is still tight...
