I bought a Greenwood Hood Scoop to make it work. You have to cut the HSR down (some have done it, don't know how) or you have to cut a hole in the hood and put a hood scoop on it.

Here's a couple of pictures. It's close but it won't fit under the stock hood.

Does the hsr makes any difference in performance on a otherwise stock engine?

There are other intakes out there that don't require cutting up the hood, and give better performance with your stock motor... Super-Ram, Mini-Ram for instance. The new BBK looks promising too.

FYI: There are Stealth Ram models that do not require hood mods, or custom made plenum that works...

What stealth ram model doesn't need a hood scoop? Are you talking the Joby mod?

I've been looking for fasterdeals.com but its website is down.

Where can I get a custom plenum to fit?

I'd make a sheet metal plenum for it instead.
