On a side note, that whiny thing was whining a lot today.
Played with a buddy and his 643 rwhp '08 GT500 (2.8L Kenne Bell) and I was keeping right with him

Gabe... that looks phenomenal! I'm really interested in the battery and master cylinder covers. Where did you get those, and are those just a snap on?

Also, as far as the strut tower brace, I too have now been running with no brace since it won't fit over the Maggie. I'm assuming the 13/14 GT500 tower brace will fit fine? I heard the stock Boss 302 strut bar should work too? Any other strut brace that would work?

Thanks Burton.
The covers are from here, just trimmed the right one to fit around the throttle body:

Use coupon code "5%OffS197" for a few dollars off

As far as strut tower brace, no idea.
I'm lucky enough to have a girlfriend with a GT500, so I took hers off one day and popped it on, and voila! It fit perfectly:

Gabe thanks for the info. So that's from an 08 GT500 oem? I think the whipple you have sticks out further than my Maggie. Can I ask a favor gabe? Can you please measure the distance from the base (screws) of you upper manifold to the top of your whipple? I'll measure mine too so I know that if yours is a larger measurement then I know it will fit mine. My only concern is that your 13 hood is different from my 12???? I wonder if that will make a difference?

Lol... I was gonna say, give me the 3k and I'll install it in a day.

Seriously tho, if you can turn a wrench you can install a blower. It's literally bolt work, that's it. Instructions and friends and beer, and voila. Save your $$$.
