It will have to be one of the following becuase I want a stealth hood. Will be running 5 to 8 pounds of boost.

 

those are both junk, the ony hat you should run is an ev hat.

 

I only have slightly less than 3" of clearance. Any other options?

 

I run the low pro procharger hat. I am having problems tuning my car cause of it. Hats make a huge difference in how the car acts. If i were to do it Again i would go with the EV hat. I am buying one here soon. Not what you wanted to here but its the truth. The low pro hat will work and if you could get away with running the spacer would be your best bet.

 

the ev is good but so is the spectre low profile, i was running it and I like it alot its just you gotta get adapters if your not running 4 inch intake piping

 

I know this sounds stupid but there are some really fast GN's that claim they got rid of turbo surge by putting those stupid Tornados in the MAF tubes. Wonder if the same thing in front of the carb hat might improve the air flow through the low profile hats. Yea I know

 

ProCharger's low-profile carb hat is only 2" tall. Their taller carb hats are only 2.75" tall. The taller the hat is, the more time the air has to straighten out before going in to the carb, making it easier to tune.

 

 

Toss the throttle body and get a doghouse/elbow and run a 3" throttle body.

Throttle body? You have to wear shoes to use that fancy stuff I just work with that semi controlled fuel leak called a carburetor!

 

Oh... blow through carb? Ick..

The EV hat is great, but I have heard that for 8-10 psi, the spectre hat is fine and tuning isn't a problem.

One guy is going 119 mph in the 1/8 with this hat.....$69 at pepboys?

 

Since I can't use one of the good hats I am going with the cheap one. Will see what happens. Thanks for all the input.
