I know they do endurance testing on the rollers to simulate heavy loads and back to back WOT runs to try and get the cars to overheat and so on. As for altitude testing, I highly doubt ANY supercharger manufacturer does that.

Update- Just talked to a buddy at Edelbrock and they in fact altitude test, heat soak and torture test (in death valley) all their E-Force systems.
