I do get some contact on the passenger side , but only if I go WOT quickly ( on the front and back straight at VIR ) , but it`s minimal . You can reduce your filter element height , and lose some power ( probab;y won`t notice it ) and do ERA`s motor mount mod to the driver side mount to reduce motor torqueing .
Try putting some clay around the air cleaner lid , close the hood , open it and measure what it was squished down to .

Did the clay already, but I didn't know about the offset, thank you.
