Waiting on this is very exciting, but guess there is no updates for us...

From the horses mouth.
I personally spoke with Mel last night on the phone and he gave me a breakdown of what was going on, what had happened with Jim and what he was trying to make happen for all of us that have a deposit. Basically what he told me was that they have no definate answers for HP or final price and they ran into the unexpected problem of having to fabricate another snout because the one on the Lysholm is too long. They're working out the issues and everything is in the shop. After my conversation with him I feel more confident now that he is doing everything he can to get this out to us. He seems very customer service oriented and is all about making us happy with the final product. He told me that he wants to be sure that everything is right before he sends anything out.

If you are talking about the snout on the M62 it's cast as one piece with the casing. The Lysholm does not have a snout, therefore they have to fab their own. From that post I would assume that they are trying to make it mate up with the stock intake piping.

The snout on a Lysholm is easily machined using a mill, lots of cutting fluid, and going very slowly. Trust me, it was neccsary to machine a snout of the Lysholm that bolts into the thunderbird supercoupe.

The drive snout I believe. I think they need one between the 1" intervals available for proper pulley alignment from what I can tell.

From my calculations, there is only one snout that Lysholm makes that will allow for proper pulley alignment without interfering with the mounting holes. But it then makes the supercharger interfere with the boost bypass port. Hence the reason for a new endplate. Extending the boost bypass port too far interferes with the oil filter canister. It's a bag of worms anyway you look at it. That is why I never finished the project like I wanted to...well that and lack of time and effort to put my nose to the grindstone.
. Im in a debate about getting a mazdaspeed 3, or upgrading to the cobalt ss, this will help my decision

We are going to make the snout:
1. For exact alignment (better fit over intake manifold, fitment to endplate and intake)
2. So we can install our modular pulley to, pullies will range from 3.25" to 2.62" <- 2900psi
3. It's cheaper for us to make it than order them.
Currently the snouts are being machined, I'll see if I can snap some pics 2moro.
