I don't have one, but it sounds like maybe on the numbers side of things a little at low revs, but maybe the hp takes care of it later, because people love them, and they sure can rip from a hole, from what I have seen

A hood scoop would be best but that would kinda take the whole street car image away.

which intake do you think will provide the best overall gains, the BBK, Miniram, or HSR?

The plenum is about 1" too tall. You either need to:
1) Cut, weld, shorten the plenum
2) Make a whole new plenum
3) Get a hi-rise hood
4) Buy the USM modified version (link here.)

There are a couple of posters who've modified one -- if you do a search. (You could start with LD85 above). :-)
