u wont need to go up and over or around the blower, keep the stillen manifold on and use a fmic with an inlet on the drivers side and 2 outlets on the pass side, or one on the pass side and one on the top, put a 90 on it and route both through the rad support, on the pass side. it should be very simple. the blower is not stuck with the output facing the pass side, it can be turned downward so turning it down will make plumbing easier

This is EXACTLY (well almost) my original game plan ... 'clocking' the SC'r down and going either Air to Air or W2A IC ...
I do think I will still be keeping the Stillen mainifold and charge pipe, routing the Air out straight up from the fmic.
I would also still be able to keep the Stillen W2C system to further cool the charge as it goes in to the runners.

I didn't get much of a response when I threw that idea out to them - probably because they had already just run the oil lines to the SC'r.

No matter - the SC'r has to come off the bracket now anyway - I'm come up with an idea as to how to reinforce it (the bracket) to keep it from flexing.

Someday 'Monday' will come and the car will be back at the track.

LOL - I am (for some unexplainable reason) a Supercharger guy thru and thru!
And being a determined yet somewhat stubborn Irish/German, I will see the project to it's finish.

I don't think we have Totally hijacked the thread - everything we've been talking about is still relevant.

A lot of guys who buy the Stillens want more power (including MIKEY1600) ...only to run in to problems - or worse - blown motors.

A new thread might be a good idea tho' - I'm sure that there are enough interested guys with other ideas as well.

All good, keep going

I'm in the same boat looking for more power, decided to hold off on my plans for now, atm looking at clutch replacements and double check on my tune.
