Jim

Yes thank you. I've never dealt with or worked on a roots/twin screw blower so they are foreign to me

Will deff need to cut a hole in the hood, which I already have but its a steel hood so I got a stock aluminum hood to replace it and I'll prob have to get a fiberglass/plastic scoop for summit

I still need to get the long tube headers to fit, I need to hook up the fuel system, and do a little more wiring and she'll be on the road.

Intercooler, manifold, and blower are 85 lbs. Just weighed it. Add another 20lbs for coolant, reservoir and other parts. Minus 10 for LS6 intake and other related junk that will not be needed. So right around 100lbs right over the k-member.

That thing is a monster Lol
