Default Vortech guys. Come in here please!

I wanted to ask a few questions of you guys. I am thinking about getting a v9 aftercooled kit for my formula with ws6 hood. Will I have to modify anything on the underside of the ws6 hood to make this aftercooled v9 kit fit? Also does this kit require you to relocate anything in the engine bay? If so what parts and how complex is it to relocate these things? What is the average time for installing this kit on your vehicles? Any input on these questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

First time it will take you a full day for sure since you haven't installed one. The only thing you relocate is you Horns, and you powersteering resevoir. You will have to tap the oil pan and you will need an ATI pin kit to pin the crank so the balancer doesn't spin when under a load. Good luck I think the directions say about 12 hrs to install I believe???
