Have you called halltech? I would think it would as all intake tubes should me be the same 92mm diameter as the throttle body.

Also in for info on ECS fitment. Also from the people that have this hood,how do you keep water out of the engine bay? I'm concerned since it rains hard and often in Florida

I had to cut my LG hood. The intake pipe hit the support. Simple and doesn't mess up the "show quality carbon". The factory setups don't have the blower inlet pipes. That is what may hit, or the blower.

I saw that post when I did a search. I also saw another post where someone said they had to cut almost a inch out of the hood with a procharger as well. Kinda left me with allot of questions.

Would you have more detailed pictures of it after you trimmed it? Curious to what it looks like now. Also, i noticed your elbow sits allot higher. Mines still stock height i belive. Im more worried the supercharger will hit the corner of the waterfall. And thanks for your response.

Bump. Still looking for answers. Has anyone had to trim the edge of the waterfall to make the supercharger or bracket fit? Or anywhere else?

Im sure the hood will fit under your supercharger with no trimming. I trimmed mine because I installed victor JR intake manifold.
try to contact Halltech and ask them about the spaces I'm sure they have the answer.

I called and Jim said he had no knowledge of anyone having a supercharger with his hood. Same when I called ecs. Out of curiosity. Can you see the supercharger from the hole in the hood?
