Air Cleaner Under Hood

[JOSHUA31]

I need your opinions on this...
The way our body and engine/manifold came out the air cleaner top is just barely coming out of the hood. This made a nice sleak look but we are concerned about the performance and other issues this may cause? Give me your thoughts...
Thanks

It will cost you a little hp by pulling in hot air

We have the same issue. We built an air box and put some rubber gasket on top to seal it to the hood, then punched some holes around it to suck air from the top.

BRC sells a Kool Air box with hood scoop. That's what we have on our car and it works very well

If you are running IMCA, a cold air box, and any air cleaner spacer over 2 inches is illegal.
