    That's a tough one. Fit the n20 spray bars in to the intake to get back that 3/4 of an inch you lost with the plate.
    Or if it's just occasional strip and mostly street I would put a low rise intake on it. Depending on cam, gearing, converter, there probably won't be a big loss in et especially with the nitrous, plus a dual plane would give better seat of the pants street driving. That intake will probably hurt power below 5k over a good dual plane anyway
    Unless it's got a blower or at least a tunnel ram any hilborn or Enderle style scoop sticking out of the hood looks silly to me.
    If it was mine I would fabricate an aircleaner that looked like a mini cowl hood that was about 12" wide 20" long and 6" high. Use soft motor mounts with a limiter then you gotta cool looking mini shaker hood sticking out but thats more than a few hour project.
    There's my .2 cents

      Thanks for the feedback. I went back in forth with it. And landed on Modifying the air cleaner and a small addition to the hood. You're 100% right on the intake. Dual plane would perform better just about everywhere accept top end hp. I'm going for highest Horsepower #. Nice at the track and Looks good on paper lol 😆
