Danggggg, That filter is about the size of a small country.

The set-up looks good but I thought everyelbow made it harder for the intake to breath?

Every bend is equal to about a foot right?

My kit is very similiar, mine is just one piece and runs over the Throttle Body instead of the back of the motor. And mine is painted red, Chevyman you have a very nice looking kit with the chrome plating.

Has anyone just tried to duct cooler air to the general area that the ProCharger intake is placed. Maybe use the different elbow to get it higher and/or toward the intake cover, a larger filter as well, then duct cooler air towards it. It seems that would eliminate the dreaded extra bends and length of the actual intake itself. I think I am going to attempt to go this route. I don't think that lengthy duct work w/ numerous bends wouldn't really matter at that point.
Any thoughts and/or comments?

Nope, 300 rwhp. A real eye-opener. Even though it was a mandrel bend it was very tight to clear the inner fenderwell.

What kind of surge is that on your intake?

The ATI supplied one, I believe it has changed since my install to the black one like in ranwalk's pics. They also changed to an ATI supplied intake to TB tube as well. My kit used the stock intake to TB tube w/ $#!+ bag on the side. I bought the new tube when they came out with it. I still don't think it is as good as a fab'd aluminum one would be.
