I for sure glue the lower foam that sits on the air cleaner. If ya don't, it blows off with the hood up every time the wind decides to blow, which is a lot.. At least out here in the desert anyway.

Got it done. Not rocket science at all.
I ended up using 3M weatherstrip adhesive in about 7 spots around the pan and then installed it. No problems and it appears to seal against the hood very well.



On to the lower pan.
Here's a photo of my Edelbrock ProFlo-4. I had to use about a 1/2" spacer in order to get the lower pan to clear the throttle linkage. I was afraid that might make the pan set a little too high for the Ram Air setup but it is not the case.



I glued the seal onto pan yesterday and gave it a try on the car. After shutting the hood, I used a flashlight and looked into the scoop openings. It appeared like the seal was fitting snugly around the front side but looked like I had a gap at the rear of nearly 1/2" or so. The angle of the engine makes the front part of the seal go up higher in relation to the hood than the rear part does.

So I got some 1/2" foam strip and put it underneath the pan seal to raise it up using the weatherstrip adhesive. I think it looks OK and not that noticable. I'm more interested in the functionality of having good cold air induction vs looking perfect here.





Now when I shut the hood and look into the scoops, it appears to fit snugly all the way around.
