I am one of the Techs that built this car...
The fuse box can be moved with only lengthening 5 wires, all of which are power wires.
The rest of the wires have enough length to relocate it into the lower fender well. I dont have any pics of this otherwise I would post them up. You do loose the passenger side brake duct in the process. Small price for the added fun of a supercharger.

I am one of the Techs that built this car.
The brackets are all custom designed with a 30mm jackshaft. The HP is limited to the crank dampener wrap at about 650 rwhp. Any more and we would need to do a flip drive like on a Corvette.
The engine is a Stock LS2 with TEA CNC Heads, Camshaft and the RMCR Supercharger Kit.
The few things you need to relocate is the fuse box and the washer reservoir.

We did relocate the washer reservoir to a smaller reservoir and still use the factory pumps so it still performs like factory, you just don't have 2 gallons on hand anymore.
Let me know if there are any other questions.
Thanks

Update on build:
Just installed the 8.8 from creative steel w/ 3.73's
New pulley (3.33)
Snow Meth kit
I'll be posting a new dyno sheet up and pics of the install here soon. Made a little more peak power but the gains were really between 1500-5000 rpm's

Safe tune by RMCR, the camshaft wasn't originally meant for this build and is slightly limiting the peak power by about 30-40whp. I can definitely feel more low end power

And I'm in CO too!

You won't regret it
This kit has been incredible. 4,000 miles on it so far ( not my dd) in 95+ degree summer and sub 20 degree winter with no issues. Great peak power and consistent power delivery, never seen the coolant temps go over 205 even before the snow meth kit.
I'll be getting some time slips here in a couple weeks to prove the power (finally got that 8.8 in)
Any questions or pic/vid requests just let me know

I got a hold of these guys and got some questions answered. Kit costs $5995.00 shipped. They still make & sell them. It comes with almost everything needed including a BAP and 60#hr injectors. They said the install they last did used stock fuel pump with BAP and still used factory MAF.
The fact that it comes with the necessary fueling parts makes it much more appealing than the brute speed procharger install. The paxton kit looks much easier and cleaner to install. Less modifications and such. They would also entertain a group buy with potential ~400-800ish mark down with 5+ guaranteed buyers.
So who's got some skin in the game?

Yeah that's the appeal for me, is the reliability of a supercharger and something that has more ***** and better presentation than a Maggie. Plus super unique and i can still rock my fast102 with the paxton.
Any chance you could do a vid of the s/c at idle and maybe some pulls or just messing around rowing some gears? Also are those borla s type mufflers? Isn't the drone atrocious for you? It looks like we have the same mufflers.

(this was prior to the new rear end, pulley and meth so you can hear the whine)
I don't have too much drone, the rear end whine was way worse than the exhaust drone but i solved that with the 8.8. I also don't have emissions so no cats for this guy and it doesn't bother me
