BTS Dual HPOP kit. Space under hood?

Is anyone with a factory hood running the BTS dual hpop kit?

It mounts vertically on top of the factory pump. I am informed that it fits under the factory hood of the SD 7.3s

I am curious if it will work without having to get a cowl hood or modifying the factory hood.
Thanks in advance fellas.

I believe I have seen a guy on here running that set-up but its been awhile, and I can't remember who it was. I think he had enough room under the hood without any mods.

Why do you want to use the BTS style duals over the TE duals?

Thanks guys.
Phil - Basically a guy at work (friend of a friend) approached me and says he has the BTS kit with everything but a second IPR(and my pump) and hes asking $800.

My minds just turning. Duals opens up a lot of possibilities... im already budgeting for a trans in the next year or so cuz i think even the stage 2s will toast mine.

We'll see. Just wanted to know before i bought something that required a different hood.

Where do you guys find BTS products or even know what they offer?

Their website sucks.

We are talking about Brians Truck Shop right?

That's a good deal! A new one is $5000! Look at all the money you'll be saving. More than enough to get you to RRE! LOL!!! Just kiddin, I know what you're saying. My wish list keeps getting longer and longer, but my stack of pennies keeps getting shorter and shorter........and they're only pennies
