also i planned on using a hood scoop from a subaru wrk or a 3rd gen. 4runner instead of a 2in. body lift. but now that i thought about it more would a 1in. body lift and a hood scoop work well? i was thinking of the 1in. to give more clearence for the exhaust.
Thanks for the help!


I dont think a scoop from the subaru WRX will work well, cause its so short along the surface of the hood. the supercharger takes up alittle more then a square foot above the stock hood.
the one for the 3rd gen is what my cousin is using. it will work if the scoop is lifted alittle off of the surface of the old hood, but the flow/curve of the hood will not look
good.

also take into account that the engine will move whenever it torques up. so leave some clearance for that.

right now the pulley of the supercharger sticks about 1/2 inch above the original hood, that 1 in body lift should be all you need if you want to use the 3rd gen scoop.

the fiberglass insert for the scoop is expensive at the dealer, about close to 200 bucks if I remember correctly. goto a junkyard and find a good hood, it would have the insert with it.
