Yeah, it definitely solved a clearance issue for me. Evidently, that's how ProCharger re-routes them when you install a supercharger setup. Thanks again to Gordy M for link.

Thanks John, No doubt about the fan.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "paint match the intake"?

Ohhhh...lol. Don't mind me. Too many JagerBombs last night.

I think black would have looked good, but didn't want it soaking up the underhood heat. I just figured silver would reflect the heat better.

I thought that my MAF calibration/tune would have maybe changed a little, but datalog home from "the Point" this afternoon showed 1% or less of MAF error, so I'm fine with that.

They actually make paint that will dissipate heat better then open/raw metal..

The quicker you are, the less coolant you lose.
Perfect, I got my efans last week for my project, and I was concerned with how my radiator hose was gonna look just hanging in mid air, not anymore though

I need some part numbers and will a predator tuner get the job done? I think I found a new project!
