I went with the ACP Magna-Extractor hood and I am very pleased with it. Has about an extra 2.5" to 3" head room over a stock hood.

MCM, Caravaggio, RK Sport and ACI all make them, and I'm sure there are others.

Z06PSI- That Vis hood looks realy sharp. Do you have any other pics, like from the side?

I'd guess he got it from VFN, but I am pretty smart.
