How much clearance did you end up with supercharger to hood looks like it would be close. Do you think there will heat problems being so close to the hood? Oh and you guys are always on the cutting edge of Badassness!

Thanks guys. We are only as good as the customer will allow us to be. As much as this car is pretty simple we hope to make it stand out in a crowd. Its the little things you don't see that make it stand out.

We probably have 3/4 of an inch of clearance on the hood. I don't know what there would be to worry about as far as heat with the super charger. Its not packaged any tighter then say a new Camaro or Corvette.

I will share what we have but it really does not look alot different then stock. The trans tunnel is tall in the car, but does not look out of place. The rear wheel tubs have been moved up to facilitate the new ride height. And the rear frame rails are also moving up along with the stock spring pockets. All the rear suspension is in the stock desired position DSE calls for, its just raised up in the car 2" in the front and 3" in the rear.

This picture shows the transmission crossmember that is now mounted to the body of the car. And welds to the recess subframe mounts. It allows for exhaust clearance and such.







The finished product with the Tr06060 Shifter mount built into the floor. With a short MGW shifter isnt really not the much taller then a stock shifter.

The Stance is beautiful on it. I saw the tire sizes, Would you mind sharing what width the wheels are, they tuck nicely.

Is this the car you got from Tyler a few years back? Always fun to see what becomes of cars over the years.
