I've got that setup with a flat lemans hood now. RPM and QF 4150. I can't run taller than a 2" element with a drop base 14" aircleaner. Needed to shave the wing nut so it would clear the hood. It barely fits.
GTO hood gives about 1 to 1.25" of additional clearance in the area right above the carb, where the peak of the aircleaner is. With the GTO hood, I could run a RPM, a thick gasket, a nitrous plate, a Q-jet and a 2.5" element and still have more room than I do with this LeMans hood.
This is why swapping a GTO hood is on my project list.
