^^^+1 Lol!
The Vortech is a centrifugal type SC. OEM SCs are twin screw or roots type because they don't make that much noise (relatively). Lol, mine sounds like a truck at times. If you're not ready for it get a Stillen (twin screw) but you'll need a new hood for spacing. Advantages/disadvantges of both have been discussed to death here.

yes raising the idle helps.
But you can definitely tell that you have something in there...its not quiet like stock...but quieter than some other F/I engines I've heard.

oh it's fine, if you can't stand a little SC noise, you shouldn't be thinking of modifying cars in the first place. Almost everything you do to the car's power makes some louder extra noise/volume - yeah yeah, except for a turbo

It's not that loud, but then again I am very use to loud cars. But really it's not that loud.
