I am looking at creating a little more clearance between the top of the aircleaner and the hood scoop. My first thought is to mill about a 1/4” off the top of the intake manifold. I currently have a performer rpm intake on a 429. My current air filter is about 17/8” high and I would like to put something a little higher or a top that breathes as well.
Any feed back on this would greatly be appreciated, I know it may compromise the original design of the intake but if a loose a little HP I may gain it back in having the motor breath better.
