Hood clearance issues

Here's the deal, I'm running a sbc with a performer rpm air gap, a quick fuel 750, and a 1/2" nitrous plate, I just bought a very nice stock gta hood and don't really want to chop a hole in it unless I absolutely have to. I've been going through this site for a couple hours and all I've seen that works is a 6" x 2" air filter that will rub but clears, the edelbrock triangle of death, and the L88 setup. I was just wondering if theirs any other options before I hack into this that may flow better and not cost a fortune.

Have you considered a nice clean looking CAI?

Re: Hood clearance issues

Or a drop base air cleaner? Those are usually good for clearance issues
