it just looked like they drilled a new hole in the metal and cut the plastic piece and physically moved it... the motor is electric, so i dont see why you couldnt delete it all together... but since ive never messed with it i guess i dont know for sure http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/co...999_camaro_z28
I think the problem with deleting the pass wiper is that the drivers arm doesn't attached directly to the motor. It uses a combination of linkage that is involved with the pass wiper pivot. I'm gonna have to tear it all apart this weekend and see if I can rid myself of the pass side arm/pivot. If so this wicked piece will be the next addition to my 402/AFR setup.
SO what is all included in this tuner kit? Is it ready to be bolted up and everything? Just needs fuel system/tune right? 5400 aint too bad thats a badass setup. Watch out Cobra owners

CORVETTE vs. STREET ROD - OFF ROAD KITS
The same basic kit is used on both the Corvette and Street Rod - Off Road applications. The differences are listed below. The supercharger kits major components (see photo) are assembled and ready to bolt on the engine. The only options are pulley size, pulley ribs and injector size. The inlet manifold will accept stock 76mm LS1, 90mm LS6 or aftermarket FAST 90mm - and the new 93mm, when available. That’s a 30HP bolt on. Most of the Street Rod - Off Road applications use a Stand Alone System and 90mm throttle body. The Corvette inlet system and hood are not used. Below are the only differences in the kit.
PARTS NOT INCLUDED IN THE STREET ROD - OFF ROAD KIT
93mm filter
93mm One piece plastic inlet tube
93mm Clamps and hose adaptors
76mm Adaptor (allows use of stock TB)
Kenne Bell BOOST-A-PUMP™
Kenne Bell fiberglass hood
I talked to a guy @ KB today and he said the gen III engine w/their SC is really impressive. He said that the cobras are pushing around 18psi to break 600rwhp but a bone stock 346ci 04 Z06 made 601 rwhp @ only 8psi!!!!!!
So I can't help but wonder how much it would make with about 12-13psi/93 oct on my 402/AFR setup. Maybe 750+rwhp??? 
Probably 700+ lbft @ like 2000 rpms...just rediculous...

I'm pretty sure KB will be making it as part of their f-body SC release.... Like an upgrade option... Smart move, IMO.
We're going to see a lot of badass new videos of KB Vettes (possibly f-bods) vs. Cobras.

I am trying to see how you guys can get that in there. The motor is sitting to far back. Keep in mind about where the TB is and how it routes to the front of the car since the air is being drawn to the rear of the SC. I hope it works out or KB finds a way to squeeze it in there, since I am looking for another F-Body.

I also talked to Danny @ Forcedairtech in australia and he said the Optcon charger they offer now will be replaced with a Whipple 3.3L in the next few weeks.
He also said that their chargers have the lowest installed height of any twin-screw but I think that is in part because they aren't intercooled. This would obviously mean less boost on pump gas but Whipple claims they are the most thermally efficient twin-screw on the market and that intercooling is only an option, not required. It should fit alot easier w/o an intercooler so alot less cutting might be possible. Plus on a low comp 402 I don't think a few less psi is going to kill me. 10psi on 93 oct would still be possible and with a massive SC displacement like the Whipple I don't think I would lose that much hp to the KB.
I still like the KB more but the price of the forcedairtech kit, especially if it doesn't go up w/the new Whipple makes it a great alternative! That extra $2k in my pocket could almost buy a Dana 60!

i honestly think the length of this blower is no different than the maggie blowers... simply because as stated above look where the intake routes on the kb... well look at the maggie, whats back there, Pullies!, but i would definately like to know the dimensions of it
I agree the length is about the same but IMO it is the height that will be the big PITA. The maggie is not as high I don't think. The red one on that guys 99 camaro isn't even intercooled is it? I couldn't tell from the pics...plus the KB is a larger displacement unit then the mag which probably means taller also. Also, the KB is much wider at the back w/the intake plenum and all so a wider cutting area will probably be necessary. I wonder how much lower the KB would be if you could get it non-intercooled. Maybe use water injection instead. I am thinking maybe the Whipple 3.3L with some water injection could allow 12-14psi on pump gas maybe a little more...
