Message	I decided to make a design that would clear the hood. after looking at the 350z and cima plenums (and a little goofing off) I came up with this..... Here is the skinny. It will clear the hood.... But you have to cut a small hole in the under bracing (circled in blue). to be clear about this, the hood will be totally stock with no exterior holes, bump, lumps, bulges, etc. (that tan color in the hole is the primer color on the bottom side of the actual hood) . the only modification is the notching of the center brace. I have about a 1/4" of excess in my riser so I am getting it milled a 1/4" shorter to see if it will clear without notching the brace.... but we will see. As it stands now this stbi will fit the stock hood, stock valve covers, and I am 99.9% sure the stock fan and shroud will fit. this is not finished but I felt like posting something. :) whatchyall think?
