LS1 Victor Jr Stock Hood Clearance

I have researched this for three days now and I cannot find an answer (probably doesn't help that it took me 15 mins to figure out how to start a new thread in order to ask this question). Will the EFI Victor JR with the low profile throttle body elbow or ultra low profile TB fit under my stock hood in my 91 Camaro?

I haven't tried it, but did look into it. From the info I found, it should fit under a stock hood.

Re: LS1 Victor Jr Stock Hood Clearance

Funny I literally just bolted mine on the other day with the ultra low 102* elbow. It does touch the hood. Im running Spohn mounts with Poly's. However I can still shut the hood. Im going to clean the top of the TB/Elbow with a belt sander to give me a tad of clearance though. I did notch out a small spot on the hood (right in the center there is a part that sticks out around 1.5" square.

BTW holley makes a single plane now as well that is a bit better for low end performance and is around 1/2" shorter. I already had vic jr rails so went with it

If you need any other pics let me know
