LT1 WS6 Hood Clearance?

How much extra hieght clearance do you get with a lt1 ws6 hood over stock in the engine bay? I think it's like 1" or so?

Does anyone have pics of the underside of a lt1 ws6 hood?
Thanks!

The stock LT1 hoods actually indented in the middle to the top. So with a WS6 hood you may get 2-3" more at some points. What are you stuffin under the hood that needs additional clearance?

You might need to get a cowel hood for that. Or a bigger ram air hood. It may clear the WS6 hood but not positive.

I had Bret Bauer do that intake for me. I'm going to mock it up with a stock firebird hood and see where it contacts, and hopefully i won't have to run a rediculous hood for clearance
