Ram Jet and hood clearance?

I dunno if many of you have seen a ram jet on a 3rd gen, but its a pretty tall intake and i am wondering if its going to clear or not. It has been bugging the crap out of me i dont wanna get this thing all together and have it smack on the hood.


heres a few pics of the intake.

Re: Ram Jet and hood clearance?

It looks just a little bit taller than a TPI intake just by looking at the pic...I'm not really sure if it'll clear.

I've heard that the Holley Stealth Ram wont clear under a Camaro hood,but that Ram Jet looks a little shorter than the HSR.

Good Luck w/ your build man,and if it doesnt clear you have to buy a cool aftermarket cowl hood or the Stingray style SS hood...darn.
