Any ProCharger guys ever run the HoB DD bracket system?

I used the House of Boost (HoB) bracket on my 2008 GMC 5.3L truck.
However made my own tubing, and intercooler mount behind the grill.
Super super easy, since the tubing slipped behind each headlight. Ordered a couple tubes from ProCharger, and a few silicon couplers off the internet.
I can say this though, the "China" intercooler I got that everyone seems to buy off the internet, was TOTAL crap. I had a 5psi pressure drop across the core.
However I recently sold the bracket system with the D1SC, to a buddy that has a 2013 5.3L truck, so he will be changing the intercooler out to something of more quality, that has something like .5-1psi drop across the core.

Noooooooo. I'm holding out that ProCharger makes an i-1 kit for this truck.
I had a wild hare up my butt and thought I was selling the truck, so I was putting it back to stock. A friend offered me good money for the system, since that way he didn't have to "make" his own with the HoB bracket for his 2013. (Since my 2008 was identical to his 2013 other then the MAF)
We literally parked both trucks next to each other in the driveway.
And within about 2.5 hours had it all off my truck, and onto his.
So flipping easy, loaded tune, and rock and roll.
I however decided to not sell my truck, after I realized that putting my daughters car seat in the back of the CTSV pretty much makes the front passanger seat worthless. Sooooo I kept the truck.
I used the blower money to buy a few "toys" to make me like my truck again.
22" DUB wheels
the 5"-7" lowering kit
And ordered goodies for the Camshaft.
So now its a SLAMMED 4x4, which I love.
The DAY I put the lowering kit on, and loaded up the KTM
The DAY the new wheels arrived. (taller then my daughter)
As it sits now.

My good friend that I race Moto with, has one on his 2013 Raptor.
And good lord, its wicked fast. The down low rush of boost of a roots blower, combined with the same (if not better) upper power gain I had with my D-1SC.
(And I can turn it on and off from inside the cabin)
My truck will never be a "race" truck. (I have a car for that)
So for what I do with my truck, it fits perfectly.
Tow, Haul, lots of miles (191,000k and climbing), and the little fun run here and there.

Can one of you guys do me a favor and pull a measurement for me? I'm looking for the distance between crank center line to the very top of the head unit? Im working with limited space on trying to use the HOB bracket in my chevelle. Thanks.

However, they can tell you dimensions. I do believe they have a "lower" version for being installed in applications with less hood clearance then a TBSS or Truck.
