Porting the mid? intake manifold?
What are the eight intrusions for? Are they to direct airflow, mold reasons, strength? I was going to remove them if they aren't important. I don't think they are hollow, from the underside they don't appear to be.

The screws that hold the intercooler onto the midplate have got to have somewhere to go. If you grind those off, all that will happen is that it might expose the threads that come in from the bottom. Dale

When you stick the blower case on top w/o the rotors it looks like the first two 'bumps' would cause some turbulance. I'm not an expert though. I would also think that the underside of the blower would cause alot of turbulance. i'm not sure how much it matters because all of the air is being forced through with so much pressure.??

Rather than remove them they might benefit from a little reshaping and smoothing. Just a little clean up.

Put some JB weld before them (towards the front) and shape that to make a little ramp, or smoother transistion for the air to go over them.

Okay, I did it. I hope it works out okay. If not I guess I can get the old 99/00 blower, intercooler, and intake from karkraft at the low price of $895.

I may just do that also. But since the blower is taking longer then expected I may have to wait until winter storage to do that. Not enough time to do everything before Fords @ Englishtown
