Ok, I got the SLP lid, LS1 base, and a 4 inch glasstech cowl. Ive seen people run these with the ls1 base, mine still hits the cowl. Is there something Im missing? Did u guys still have to cut at all? Looks like for me to make this work, i would have to cut the bottom of the hood, which im not crazy about. Any ideas or suggestions?

I feel your frustration. I have the same hood and bought everything I need for the LS1 lid conversion. My hood won't even close with the lid removed and just the radiator shroud on there! Its not even close! It appears that quite a bit could be cut from under the hood, little nervous to do that though. I'll let you know if I find a solution before you do.

I don't know what has to all be done, but if it can fit under a stock hood with mods, I fail to see how this cowl wouldn't with even LESS mod to the core support.

This is making me nervous because I am about to do the swap with the factory air box on a camaro with a Harwood 2.5in cowl hood. I have a feeling it's not gonna work... then again I am not afraid to cut the radiator support.

Well the stock base and stock lid definitely won't fit under the harwood I have. I don't know if it's worth modding or if I should just sell everything. I just bought a whisper lid off of ebay too!
