If you can, find one with the standard trap door cover instead of the "blood grooved" version. Provides a blank slate for customization, helping to eliminate that "Flock of Seagulls" or "Members Only jacket" stigma.
Just get the Big Sucker and not the big sucker II. Should save ya some coin as well. Not sure what tools you'll need to remove your hyper charger, but you will need allen wrenches to install the big sucker. Fairly simple. It will come with the back plate, bolts and a filter. You will have to buy a seperate cover for the filter unless you find a full kit with it. The filter bolts to the back plate so you don't have to get the cover right away.
Edit to my post: I seen a picture of a big sucker that the bolts for the back plate had a regular bolt head on them. Mine are allen, but I think there maybe some bolts to attach the filter to that you will need a wrench for also. Think the bolt head looked better than the allen heads.
thanks for the heads up re: allen heads vs. bolts. Prefer the look of bolts but would not have noticed that detail (until it was too late to do anything about it)

Just curious: Does a Stage II motor use a bigger or more effecient throttle body than a Stage I?
If there is any difference between the original Big Sucker and the BS II, it would have to be that the original BS is more RESTRICTIVE than the BS II. That would mean that the original Big Sucker is not doing what it is suppose to do - provide unrestricted airflow.
