Well, to prove anyone wrong, we need dimensions. How tall is the Paxton bonnet?
How wide? The 65/66 shelby scoop is pretty narrow.
Can you go to a cowl type of hood?

Has he considered the Weiand X-cellerator. It's about 1/2" shorter and supplies the same rpm range. I thought forced induction prefers an open plenum anyway.http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/AMS/AMSM/f7515.html [This message has been edited by bluestreek (edited 12-03-2003).]
