those beady eyed among you may spot that the top of the inlet manifold is now thicker as the original cracked as it was too thin to dissipate the heat.

I've got several questions, where to start....

I guess first, how much taller than stock manifold is the setup to the bolts? What kind of hood clearance do you have?

Did you modify the charger snout to shorten it (where the pulley mounts)? Is the charger an Eaton M112 unit?

Did you have a pulley machined for it, or was it the correct offset/number of ribs? If so do you have the stock crank pulley in place or a different diameter one for your desired boost level?

That's a start I suppose.
