Does anyone have Roto-Fab covers with a Vortec or other centrifugal supercharger?
Hey guys, I love my Roto-Fab setup, but I am looking at going forced induction.
I was originally planning on going with a turbo kit, but after lots of research I think I have settled on centrifugal supercharger. The last thing keeping me from making my decision is if I am going to be able to keep my Roto-Fab engine covers, has anybody installed a centrifugal supercharger and Roto-Fab combo and if so can you post a pic? Thanks...

I cut my stock cover to fit around my Vortech. Not just the front like the instructions say but all the drivers side cover since my intake angles over the valve cover. I trimmed just what needed and I think it looks really nice. I did that when I first installed my blower but now I run without it.

Thanks for the info, but the Roto-Fab engine covers are aluminum, so if they don't clear I think it may be a little more difficult to trim them and keep the paint looking good.

This was a long time ago but attached is a picture of when I had Roto-Fab covers with a F1A ProCharger. Notice the supercharger bracket pushes the power steering pump up so you will have to cut around that. I couldn't find a picture but you will also have to cut a small radius notch out of the front right side of the cover to fit around the radius of the supercharger.
Not hard to do with either a Rotozip or die grinder and cutoff wheel. Just use tape and take you time as I didn't even mess up the paint when it was done.
