In mock up mode right now. From valley cover to top of hat is 11". Hat is CSU and it is 4" tall. Won't fit with my stock hood{barely} If I went to a Procharger hat, that would work but, really don't want to go shorter on the hat.

And dammit I can't get this POS lap top to cooperate with picture size or is it the "L and R keyboard actuator" LOL Post it bigger if someone is able.

these are a little older pics of my setup... has changed some since but this is a 4150 throttle body but maybe it will give you an idea...

I went with a tall hood just so I didn't have to deal with clearance issues..
