bedwards,
i have the ssic setup from zzp with a stage 3 fmhe, i have yet to install it as i want everything to be figured out before i do. it is my daily driver.
so far from what i can see, the only clearance issue is where zzp puts the fpr on the ssm90 fuel logs (the front log) and the fuel line already is rubbing on my hood brace. the fix as far as i can see would be to move the fpr to the back log which would allow for clearance (this is how zzp non ssm90 fuel logs come)
the other thing would be belt size obviously cause your moving the pulley up.
for the actual functionality, its going to depend on how hardcore you want to go with your car.
as for the "i can touch the s/c after 20 wot runs" i dont understand how this is possible as the intercooler is cooling the air after the s/c. so logically the s/c is still drawing in ambient temperature air.
