Default Single Plane w/ TB conversion

Would fitting a single plane intake manifold and throttle body setup like the Accel that is available through Joe Overton be worth any gains on a street driven 350cid Lt1 or overkill? Would a setup like that fit under a Glasstek cowl hood with a cleaner and possibly a nitrous plate?

i would probably be pretty good....depemdimg on how much and what you got done to your motor.
on the other hand, as far as hood clearance, with the glasstek hood you should be fine but then the real question comes in........is it going to fit under the cowl???? since the motor sits so far back. correct me if im wrong but i dont think it will fit under the cowl.

I know Joe Overton is using this setup on his personal car but i don't have any good pictures of the engine bay to tell.

you'll have to notch the cowl to uncover part of the tb in the rear ..you can do it and keep your wipers but it would be tough to get a aircleaner on it..unless you cut back to the windshield which then, you would lose your wipers..
