@Kyle not true. Most people just don’t want to cut a hole/holes in their hood…

@Peter it is true though. They’ve dynod both. Side mount always puts out more power.

I believe it has taken off more with the Colorado crowd as it fits under the hood.

@Peter We chose not to persue the top mount on the LFX, there was zero chance it would fit on a Camaro5 without cutting the hood or doing an aftermarket cowl hood, and the other issue was the rear firewall clearance on the 5th gen, it’d have to be cut or we’d have had to go with a pretty small top mount unit like the 1740 TVS or even smaller I think to get the smaller rotor pack length, and move it forward quite a bit with the intercooler design, and then that’d limit its peak power output compared to using the big 2300 TVS that we did on the Colorado and one Camaro. Anyhow, it was just impractical, bottom line, the Vortechs by comparison made so much sense

I already cut my hood. ‘Ice cube tray’ vents from ‘68-69 SS. I made them functional.

If someone wants to spend the 2500-3500 for R&D to buy the unit and doesnt mind cutting their hood, i have a cnc milling machine and would love to make one but just cant afford to spend that money right now

You are dreaming. Your best bet is Overkill’s pro charger kit. I too wanted a top mount rootdrive supercharger.

The LFX is a very unique engine, predecessor (LLT) and successor (LGX) are different so very little aftermarket parts. LLT you could get headers. LGX you can get an Edelbrock E-Force top mount supercharger (but the small hp gain isn’t worth the money compared to Overkill’s kit).
