Default Major problems with F1A Inlet Hat

Ok just wanted to put this out there for your input and pictures if you have them. I have finished my F1A build on my 99 Camaro 418 LS1 except for one thing the inlet and filter assembly. I have found no solution that works in high power situations. I had a fabricator make a custom piece this was a near month long ordeal and as nice as it was it doesn't hold up on the dyno when the motor torques on the mount. This puts me back to square one on the inlet.

Here are the problems

-stock radiator and A/C
-procharger radiator support
-F1A procharger
-Fbody
-About 3" clearance in front of the blower


Epp sent me a 6.0L procharger inlet hat that was blocked by race valve which made it useless without moving the racevalve to the top.

What have you guys done? Do you have pictures? I am open to all suggestion even open to running just a simple screen over the procharger inlet. This is a very limited street car.

Thanks!
