Default How much room do you have?

How much room do you have from the top off the block to the hood?
I have a 91 with a TPI and I was just wondering how tall of a intake you can use with out hitting the hood.

Thanks
Jay

I was hoping we had 11 inches because I really like the new intake from Holley the Stealth Ram but it is 10 inches tall so I guess it is to tall for the corvette.
Yes you are right Marietta is in GA but there is a Marietta in SC too it is just outside Greenville.
