Super Charger intake help.

[manny z]

I was wondering if anyone here has done any solid testing on intakes for D1sc super charger?

My question is, how much of a bend can I use on the intake before I start loosing power? I know the straighter the better but. I was originally going to run the tube to the back of the engine but with the headers I built this is not going to happen, unless I run the tube right above the driver side header. NOPE. haha..

And running a filter right off the blower will not work me either. I can do this but, to me this looks way to unfinished and lazy, lol....
