    is there such thing as a phenolic blower spacer or something? im polishing my Gen V now and i want to boost it up a little bit so you can see it better, im already buying fuel rails any way. just wondering, because i dont have the money to go intercooled yet.

    You want to boost it up so its more visible..........seriously?

    Yea, they have a phenolic spacer. But IIRC its a half inch thick and won't "boost" up your "polished" supercharger.....

    Spacer is a complete waste of money.

    If its too tall you'd need a new fuel rail as well.

    So theres your cost of intercooling anyways.

    Then you'd have to remove it when you install the intercooler.

    If you don't have fuel rails.....the stock lines are going to look like crap above a polished blower anyways. And believe me, a polished blower, if done correctly, doesn't need to be raised up to be noticed.

    Once the fuel logs are on then the supercharger will "pop" more like you want.

    You may as well just flush that money down the drain that you'd spend on a spacer.

    get a modded stock rail that runs under the blower snout to feed the front bank.

    Most fuel rails have an AN setup so it wouldn't be difficult to make it work if a good deal is found.
