Good luck finding an Ultra Z hood and I'm not a fan of the Suncoast Z (plus both those hoods are probably going to be more expensive than the Trufiber hood), but yeah, I've heard they should both clear as well.

Butch - The VFN sunoco (regular will not fit and will need to be cut 100%. I have one and I had to cut it pretty good. However, without LS1 lid, it fits fine. I also have the SLP lid and I never got it to sit quite right.
I think that harwood that has the wide cowl could fit a lot better. If you can wait a few months, be happy to let you try it all out and bolt it on and see if it works.

I've always felt the same about using the LS1 radiator support giving a clean, factory looking install, but I have to say that McCauley's conversion really looks neat. It still looks like it could be almost factory. Just instead of looking exactly like an LS1 setup it looks like a combination of it and the Firehawk/WS6 setup where their airbox sits on top of the LT1 radiator support.

Thanks. The write up in the link is very thorough and easy to follow. But, I would really like to utilize the LS radiator support w/ the lower box in order to incorporate the Chrss1313 ram air kit. I've consulted VFN and Glasstek, and it seems their pin on hood will definitely have better clearance since it will not have all the underside bracing, especially in the front cowl area.

I'm pretty sure the "ultra z" hoods clear an ls1 lid setup just fine.
Im not a big fan of them, but they are about the closest thing to a ram air hold a camaro.
