The hood has a lot of clearance at the back. It's when you come forward off of the single plane that the stock hood presents some problems.

Mike, never noticed you never had to hack up your cowl! looks like a good solution to me. You got any takes on the 4barrel or monoblade differences, looking for any experience if you have run both or not... If I can ever get out of this country I can do a lot more footwork and see what certain places can do for me, like N20 outlet, they do a lot of custom intakes and may be able to work with me on something. Regardless, I am trying to do it right the first time rather than have to redo it 3 times and blow my already bloated budget.
The SLP Firehawk hood might give me enough room to pull it off nicely.
its on an LS motor but the same can be done on a LT...

Verdad Gallardo Matt, as much as you're a traitor bitch for joining the dark side, it looks totally awesome! I wish an intake like that would fit under my hood. I'm totally going to have to go lower profile that's for damn sure.
Ok, lets get down to power #'s. What are we looking to gain by going single plane? A flatter torque curve? 20-30+ hp?
I'm lookin for an excuse to spend more money here fellas.

If you're not spinning over 7K then don't waste your money.
If it was a big cammed stroker that would be a different story.
He is stock cubes with a baby cam, a ported stock intake is way more then enough air for him. He likely won't see a worthwhile gain with a single plane swap unless he is spinning very high rpms, or spraying a lot and needs the more even cylinder distribution.

I am running a 23x/24x 64x/64x cam with a turbo and spinning to ~7400 so the single plane should do nicely on mine...
I have always heard that the elbow is a restriction but have not seen a lot of slips or dynos to prove it..

Finally got mine in the car and it clears the stock WS6 hood and cowl no Prob. Very interesting on the fuel line set ups. So many ways to make it work, still not sure why one is better than the other. Looks like most guys just looped the front or rear rails.
