Houstice,
I guess you have to wait for Critterman to try it at SSM8.
Is there anyone in the South Florida area with a DDM SC?.

Supercharger adds another pulley at the crank.

Where is the super charger located, high or low? So it does stick out further than the power steering pulley since there is an additional pulley mounted on the crank pulley.
 Houstice I could cancel my order & get yours if it doesn't fit. That way you can get one on this batch. I'm in no rush for one. Get a red one! I can repaint it if you can't use it.

I don't think the supercharger pully will be the issue, it may be how the air enters the SC that may be in the way.  That part is down low.

Below the top of the frame rails? If not one could probably remove the cooling fans to install it. Time will tell.

If he wants to be sure buy a 1" plastic pipe cut it to 27".
Take the pipe and try to place it between the 2 bolts on the frame.
If this works then the LVKFCB will work.

Agreed, except he doesn't have the supercharger yet.
 Any guesstimate when this run may ship out & when you would like payment & do you have a paypal account?

Sorry, I did not realized he did not have the SC on his car yet.

I have never tried it to do it that way since it is so simple to install from above.
I would think you could do it from the bottom with jack stands or a ramp.

URGENT!!!!!

The fabricator just e-mail me and said the 10 I ordered are ready for pickup.
I will try to pick them up tomorrow and then try the powder coater the same day or at the latest on Tuesday.
Will PM everyone that is on the list by late tomorrow or Tuesday with payment info.

Send me a raw one rather than powdercoating it silver, assuming it will be a bit cheaper, thanks.

If the powder coater does not charge more to do 7-8 (Silver), because I do not have sufficient quantity to keep them at $5.00 then I can send it to you RAW. $95.00 plus shipping
If he needs 10 to keep the price at $5.00 for the Silver then it will go to you Silver powder coated. $95.00+$5.00=$100.00 plus  shipping.

Sorry folks, but I'd looked at the PM that was send and do not see a reference to Nov 18th.
The LVKFCB will be picked up tomorrow and shipping for those that have paid will begin on Friday.

I got a reference to Nov 18th.  Figured it was a typo or a copy from the last batch which was unmodified.

Founded very sorry my BAD!!! I had made 2 different PM's and did not change the date on the 2nd one.
At any rate the LVKFCB for those who have paid will go out no later than Friday.
I was promise Thursday by the powder coater they would be ready, but was not given any specific time.
If it is late in the afternoon then will ship Friday.

Looks from my report from FEDEX everyone that paid got theirs delivered.
The only exceptions are the one for Canada and the one for Greece.
Hope those members get theirs by next week.
