Come on now...the effect on the cars center of gravity would be negligible even if you tracked it. Your heat argument is also kinda silly too since the gtm sc sits right next to the biggest heat source in the entire car, the headers. Own oil cooler = added weight and another possible point of failure. You are right about one thing though, it does look stock!

Forgot to look at the pro's of having the sc where stillen put it, such as: shortest possible route from the sc to the manifold = very responsive throttle, easy to access, no pressure drop in the intercooler, less weight in piping and gets more airflow to keep the unit cool.

Gotta look at all pro's and con's man. Just sayin'
