Boosted and InterChillin'

@MCS try the tin foil test. 1" of clearance between the tallest point on the blower (center rib on the Roush) and fully latched hood should give you the room needed to install the Ford tower brace. The Ford brace is ~0.75" thick.

that is an interesting test. I will give it a whirl tomorrow. So what do you do? Just crumpled up a bunch of tinfoil close the trunk and then measure what is been flattened?

Really enjoyed following along with this build. Thank you for taking the time to write all this up with such detail and good photos. And great job on the install. I bet its so much fun to open it up on the road now!

Thanks! Happy to help. This forum and community are awesome. I try to contribute what little I can. This is my favorite and fastest build. It's amazing what a few bolt-ons can do to these cars.

I've also found that detailed writeups help with selling or claiming insurance on modified vehicles. Especially ones with DIY installs.
I would still never buy one, but it seems to offer a slight piece of mind seeing exactly what and how stuff was installed.

Yup. Loosely crumpled and placed centered on the blower directly where the brace would cross. The Roush blower has ribs that protrude. Those features will imprint in the foil. Your clearance would be measured at the thinnest point of the foil.

Definitely worth picking up a cheep digital caliper and feeler gauge set.

She butchers my voice text as well. I keep my phone in a "dust prove" case that definitely muffles the microphone.

edit: I also just suck at typing. That should say "dust proof"

Installed a pair of Roush badges from eBay. They seem to match decent and have survived a few car washes.

I have peroneal nerve damage from a motorcycle accident. It's making heel/toe shifts a bit uncomfortable in this car. I'm working to improve this.

Fix #1 has been shoes.
I picked up a pair of Vans Atwood Deluxe sneakers. They're kind of stupid looking but make a big difference.

Fix #2 will be raising the gas pedal.
3/8" I.D. x 1" O.D. x 3/8" Nylon Spacers #880448 from Lowes qty. 3.

Fix #3 ordering a wider gas pedal.
I think my issue is the pedal height, but the $30 Steeda 555-1273 Heel/Toe Gas Pedal is worth a try. I'll be removing the OEM gas pedal cover as to not ruin it.


It should look like below once complete, minus I might secure the Steeda pedal with black hardware if I can find the correct screws.

Nice install @LICobra !

The Steeda 555-1273 Heel/Toe Gas Pedal is installed. I also moved the pedal forward a 1/2". It makes a big difference.

I added black hardware and a rubber spacer for a more finished look. No damage to the factory pedal plate.
