@MRD Awesome build. You da man! I definitely want to come check this beast out soon!
Started the install of my DDM Works
I am a self installer and love to work on the SS so the DDM Works Supercharger is perfect for a weekend project. My wife helped me remove the hood and from there I have done it by myself. I removed the front end and my aftermarket fenders which made easy access.
Since I was also installing the center feed fuel rail and steam bypass line I incorporated that into work which takes a bit longer. The fitting on the new gas line was something I was not familiar with but Dave was on hand at the other end and explained how it works via texts with pictures.
I had to take the radiator out to make the pulley and Supercharger install easier and I recommend that be done right off the bat, as this makes the front of the motor work much easier. This was a wrong part shipped with the kit but Dave helped me find a ribbed pulley locally instead of the wrong smooth one I was shipped.
The intercooler is heavy and really needs a hand to install or you will be frustrated. Bottom bracket is not bolted on but holds by friction. Even with the motorcycle jack I used the part kept falling off until my wife came home and helped me hold it long enough to start the bolt.
After installing the actual supercharger I was ground to a halt due to some missing banjo bolt parts for the oil cooler but Dave is going to ship them out on Monday and meanwhile I can go ahead and install the steam line and start tidying up various wiring now.
I have a 2016.5 so I had to remove the extra shroud and plan to leave it off as suggested. Without the shroud, the shoulder bolts that hold the fan on are a bit too long so I added 2 washers to each to makeup for the missing shroud.
I will continue updating as I go along, but wrap up likely will not be done until next weekend, besides I am still waiting for the ECU to come back from boobs, I shipped it out last Tuesday so it should be back very soon.

Hopefully all is well after the new parts and reassembly. Either that or buy Jeff a plane ticket.
I don't believe I have heard about this in any other thread. Everyone says Digital Wrench is the only way in.....or maybe I need to lay off the rum this early on a Friday? Either way. News to me.
