What size cowl hood Fox with Vic Jr & Carb?

What size cowl hood is needed for Fox Mustang with LS motor running a carb setup with Victor Jr intake?

I came across a deal on a 2" bolt on hood, just not sure if that will be enough. Anyone running this setup that can help?

I ran the Vic. JR spider intake with Pro M elbow under a stock hood on my 91 coupe. I just made a small dimple in the under side bracing. I don't know how much that would be dif. in height wise probably alot with a filter...

I just really don't want any bigger of a hood than I need. Came across a good deal on a 2" Cervini, but afraid it won't be tall enough.
