Probably so.

The Performer RPM will probably net a little more hood clearance than some of the other intakes. The dual carb intakes and the Victor FE intakes will shoot you in the leg every time. I think Jeff Lipton could only fit like a 6-8" air cleaner on his 487 inch FE with a Victor intake. He dyno'd with and without the air cleaner and I think it was a horrifying difference....IIRC, it was something like 20-25 horsepower at the tires....
