Great work Carl!!!
I have another tech question (I know you hate me :P ): the support bracket looks fairly thin on the top and it cantilever's out to the charger; at full boost/load I would expect that to flex a bit and possibly cause belt slip or alignment issues. I would think that at full boost (~6 psi) you have a large tq load from resistance.
Have you/are you looking into this and possibly adding an additional brace (int he 3rd dimension) to counter this??
also, with the short boosted run, you will have the MAF close to the charger, from previous experience I know the MAF's have issues with laminar flow so close to the charger....you may see some stalling issues on deceleration.
and a big THANK YOU again for all of this hard work....sorry I'm such an inquisitive PITA.

Larry, your concerns are reasonable and valid.
We have addressed them, there are brackets behind the supercharger that you cannot see in those pictures. We have a reputation for over-building for strength, this one is no different.

Carl,
I am not questioning you or your ability, quality, etc; just tossing out some of my knowledge in the hope that it can help you if needed.
I am VERY appreciative of you doing this work. I will be one of the 1st to buy the kit.
A sincere, THANK YOU
