Default Vortech s/c

so when i bought the truck i bought a good vortech supercharger and installed it right away on my 5.3 STOCK INTERNALS besides headers n muffler bov nothing major so had it runnin for a good 2 weeks and gunnin the crap out of the truck wanted to make sure it was gonna last and it felt good nothing bad happened till my motor blew one day racing in the street i was upset later when i towed it home i looked at wat the problem might have been and it was my e-fans that cut off and overheted the motor and blew it

results were
-2 busted pistons
-1 stock 5.3 head gone
-and pieces of the piston in my oil pan

HOW CAN I SEE IF MY SUPERCHARGER IS STILL GOOD ???

it is oil fed from the pan but dont wanna crack it open then how will i piece it together >?

As long as the motor had oil pressure the blower should be fine

You say you just put a supercharger on it an started beating on it. I'm surprised you made it two weeks without a solid tune.
