I have one on my car and have not cut the hood. It fits very close, and could use some room. I have trimmed my throttle body down unitl it started to get into the sensor housing and I have no more room to trim. It left me with about 1/8 inch of clearance between the hood and the top of the TB. I have poly engine mounts on my car and the motor runs a little ruff right now so there is some marks on the underside of the hood, but as soon as I get it running smooth it shouldn't be an issue. pm me if you have anymore ??'s

It fits. LM Speed is the only Sponser doing them for the F Body. You do have to trim the cowl alittle bit but from that pic can you tell where? Like Farmdawg my TB had to be trimmed as well. What you see in that pic is the final product of the install. I did not cut my hood. Dyno sheet is on my webpage. And there are a few on here that can answer questions for you, or call Ed at LM Speed.

I have 90mm throttle body/SS hood. Mine needed to get cut. I have a hole in the hood but it is behind the grill(of the ram air) and you cant see it noticably on the outside of hood because the grill that goes in there. Also no one looks up at the hood at ALL now that the 112 is sitting on top of the motor, so im not worried about it plus its a clean cut I did. As bad monkey said. You WILL with out any question have to cut the cowl. YOU CAN NOT tell unless you take a flashlight and try to look under the cowl. It looks fine and normal if you find it because the belts in the back are up there so it looks legit and not hacked. You get a template from LMspeed to do the cutting also.
They make power. There a fu(kin blast to drive. And well ya i reccomend getting one.
Here are a few pictures of mine if you want to drool.......
Here is a picture of what needs to get cut out. Take a close look you will see.
