Default Tunnel wedge hood clearance

I'm investigating the option of using a Tunnel Wedge intake in my cobra build.

Does anyone know of any clearance issues with 2x4 medium riser tunnel wedge?
Specifically in a CSX/Kirkham?


Many thanks in advance guys...

Dimis,
I've got a Dove 2x4 med riser tunnel wedge in my KMP.
No clearance issues.

Same here on my Lone Star. It's no taller than the Performer RPM and Blue Thunder's OEM styled MR 2x4 dual plane.

Yup. When Tom Lucas suggested the intake I was concerned about the fit but he assured me it was the same and there would be no clearance issues. I personally had a little massaging to do because of the Paxton carb hats but the S&H's will fit no problem in a CSX/KMP.

Go for it, Dimis.

Thanks guys,

I'm trying to decide between TW, Webers and 8stack EFI.
I've always loved the look of Webers, and the 8stack EFI is the evolution of so it appeals.

But... in my research, I've been advised I'd do well if I opted for a TW.
If you search this site, at least 2 prominent engine builders opted for a TW for their own personal cobras. To a rookie like me, this means something!

Rodneym - near 1000 posts and over 4 years membership with CC and you have no pictures. I still don't believe you have a cobra. haha

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I have 2 albums in my user area. Just look me up and there should be 2 albums with about 8 pics each.
I'll have to check how to make my pics more visible I guess.
