Formulas with Prochargers please read. Did you guys have to modify your Cruise control/AIR relocation bracet to get it installed? I'm not sure if they sent me the wrong one, or if they only have one and I have to mod it to get it to work. Not only would I have to cut the bracket to get it around the driver's side parking light but the Cruise Control unit will end up in the way of that light. Fortunately, I'm getting rid of AIR, so if I need to I can move cruise over the AIR's location. But I'm surprised they would make a bracket that didn't work on all F-bodies.

Re: Formulas with Prochargers please read. It's not your imagination. The bracket is designed more for Camaros than Firebirds. If you have the body kit on the car like the WS6 or the FireHawk, your air pump will hit one of the marker lights. I modified the bracket so that the air pump would sit flush against it, and it still hits the light, although not that badly. I called ATI to inquire about it, and they basically said "Yeah, that's a problem if you have a Trans Am." Not what I would class as "helpful", but at least I knew I didn't do anything wrong.

I spoke to ATI and they admitted that the Formulas had issues with the bracket and that there was only one relocation bracket. Actually they said "some" formulas have issues. I"m kinda curious how only some of them have the issue. Maybe it's the Hawk/WS6 formulas.
The solution was, since I was removing AIR anyways, I just cut the bracket to fit. I thought at first I might have to mount the cruise control somewhere different, but once I got it up there the Cruise actually fit just fine.
I can't wait to fire this baby up!
Thanks for the help Pink.Mike

Re: Formulas with Prochargers please read. I answered this question on "the other board" where I first saw you post it. Yes, the Formulas do required a bit of customization, but it all fits back together with a little work...
