SS Hood or 3" Cowl Hood for Stealthram?

How is the hood clearance for the SS Hood? Would it clear a Stealthram or would I be better off with a Cowl Hood?

I like the looks of both hoods but I guess I kinda favor the SS hood. So....what do ya'll think?

Both SHOULD clear the HSR. Personal opinion tho, the fitment of the SS hood is horrible from what I've read.

Mines pretty bad, but my engine is also missing so that may be why. Not enough weight to "pull" the sides together. You can see the 1/2" of play on both sides

That's correct, therefore either should provide ample clearance.
