@Hachiroku, 30 day temp-ban pls.

True man right here.

You know, that's a good idea. If a smaller Block is needed for the SC market then we would be glad to make them for ya.

Just get us a height and we will make it so.

It has to be pretty thin - how thin do you think you could make it without it being counterproductive? I had a conversation with someone at Innovate so I will go back and look at the clearance. Lucky for me I have stiffer engine mounts so I may be able to get away with a mm or so higher, but they will need to be small.

Wouldn't it look more awesome with the charger poking through the hood?

I will have to try to figure out the clearance. Not only that, Innovate users would need a slightly longer belt depending on the spacer height.

We can ask Sean for a dimension or someone with one of the setups can come by the shop and we can measure for ourselves.

I can't imagine they'd be able to make them large enough to make a difference and still fit with the innovate.

Good post with the video - I was looking for that.

But those are on stock motor mounts. Also, would possibly require trimming the stock hood a little, but I can't tell how much clearance is between there so I will wait until further testing is done lol

Oh, there is not much room for sure. The only way to know for sure would be to make a set then ask our Dyno its opinion

Could always try using a different material if the Billet is too small and doesn't do its job correctly regarding heat - but not sure if thats an option.

OH GOD THAT WHINE! i love it.
