Is there going to be a new valley cover made like with the LS2 SSR to make this new blower a bolt on or will all old body style trucks have to use the spacers?

Not speaking for Magnuson but to me it appears the spacers are necessary to get the head to manifold angles correct. The blower sits higher than the 112 does. Even with a modified vally cover you stilll need the spacers to get the fit right.

Wrong, you need the valley cover. We would NEVER use spacers to get an angle correct. The spacers came about as a test on the engine dyno, and are used to get the manifold over the DOD valley cover used on the new trucks.

So I don't need the spacers? We had the blower on and it sure looked like the valley cover bolt heads were in the way. I'll call you in the morning for the low down, thanks bro.
