I don't think we're on the same page. Imagine lowering the engine to compensate for the supercharger. That's a significant drop in height. What's attached to the engine? Transmission, all hoses, ac lines, and exhaust. In addition you're suggesting a whole new header design (not manifold), in a limited space area already. That cost in R&D and then manufacturing would raise all costs astromically, and honestly will not work due to the transmission sitting lower too changing all angles of shifter engagement and operation angle of the driveshaft. Let's not suggest them to reinvent the wheel. Body shops are experienced in fileting fenders to provide non-functional clearance for the stance crowd. A 2 inch tapered raise in the middle of the hood will be a walk in the park and an easier mod than what you're (possibly?) proposing.
