paging all SS hood owners. got a quick question

I need to know if the under side of the SS hood is rasied up in the same spot where the TB is on the engine. I ask becuase I am running the HSR and poly mounts and a stock hood will not clear cuz it hits the front of the TB. Im getting rid of my cowl hood and want the SS hood but I need to know if it will clear. Just take a peek under your hood as you shut it and tell me if I have some room to play with. I just hope that the area of the SS hood, between the points in the front, is NOT where the TB is when the hood closes. I hope its further back.

I have a stock throttle body with plenty of clearance available. There is probably a good 3.5-4in. between the end of the tb and the front of the scoop. There is probably about 2in. between the top of my tb and the hood. Hope it helps...
