I pulled that black plastic thing off--let me move that whole harness up higher out of the way for when I did the plugs. It doesn't actually do anything.

My wires are bare inside there - they’re not wrapped at all

Mine too. I will wrap mine in some heat shield--but I'm not reinstalling that damn plastic box. It's just in the way.

Passenger side completely out. 2 bolts left on driver side. Going to be a pain due to my chiller refrigerant lines

I have some vibrant extreme wrap I thought about wrapping them in, but that itself is bulky. I have everything pulled up and out of the way with zip ties, have a system down now and the right size extensions. I picked up a long handle, low profile flexible 3/4 socket wrench from harbor freight - it’s a must for this job

Thanks! I’ll have to get some of that, much thinner than the vibrant wrap because it doesn’t have the fiberglass weave in it

I agree with this assertion. There will be so much air flowing through. Also the reason you see no gasket is I use an anaerobic sealer gasket material. The Hellcat gaskets will become unattainable soon for a normal price.
Yeah, they use anaerobic sealant on bearing plate to supercharger body and then a new factory style gasket from snout to bearing plate, might be cometic
Jon Bond sells a gasket for the 2.4 for between SC front plate and the snout, not as good as the factory one but it works. The 2.7 and 3.0 use anaerobic sealant on both sides of the plate, no gasket.
