I haven't given it much thought. I have to get the minor problems sorted out and then I will think about it.

Move the box to the side, should be more than enough room.

I have looked at that option also. That may be the final resting place :thumbs: .

Thanks for the pictures Ethan. How do you have your hoses run (not really clear to me)? I have seen several different configurations. One is a hose from each valve cover to the box and then from the box to one of the air cleaners. Another setup is a hose from each valve cover to the box, a hose from the box to the air cleaner and then another hose from the box to the oil filler tube. My kit is setup to have three fittings to the box but it would be pretty easy to add another hole and connection.

3 hoses left side of box to left valve cover, right side of box to right valve cover, front side of box to oil filler.

Which is why passenger side may be easier-- same setup except the oil filler can go straight up to the front of the box..

You are the one that had the smaller fan shroud. You have tons of room to install the box with the motor in.

I was told that this setup is pretty much the same as having nothing at all. I have had several people tell me that the one hose really needs to go to the air filter versus the oil filler. I also saw a kit with the 4 hoses going into the box (2 to valve covers , 1 to the air filter & 1 to the oil filler neck). I forget who the manufacturer was (not Bugpack or Empi). I am totally confused now.
