Hi s,
I guess it depends on what year your car, hood, and air-cleaner are.
The original LT-! intake with it's Holley and open air-cleaner required the clearance given by the bb hood.
I looked at your profile for a clue.... but it's blank.

Just an item to consider. Many stock air cleaner bases have interference issues with double pumper Holleys. Doublecheck that area before you spend any money.

Hi S,
It's my understanding that with the LT-! intake the front of the air-cleaner contacts the sb hood. That's why the bb hood has the additional height towards the front of the hood compared to the sb hood.
