Intake height
Anyone know how tall a Superram/TPI is from chinawall to max height?
And how much room is left above the intake to the hood?
Best would be china wall to top of throttle body since the hood slopes that way.
Thanks in advance

I ran one for several years and with the spray plate that had lines ~1/2" above the plate. When the engine torqued (and it was quite limited), the lines would rub the bottom side of the hood.
Therefore, I would estimate the clearance at the front of the intake (TB mounting flange) to the bottom side of the hood would be ~0.625".
The MRII had a BUNCH more clearance. The C4SP was tight with the tall open plenum intake and the elbow.
Therefore, I would estimate the clearance at the front of the intake (TB mounting flange) to the bottom side of the hood would be ~0.625".

I am getting a Hogan intake made. Trying to get as much plenum volume as possible with medium length runners around 6-7inch if possible.

If I understand what you have written, you will make the sheetmetal intake a height the same as the SR intake, plus 1/4". You should be fine with that dimension.
Regarding the Hogan sheetmetal intakes, there would seem to be better ways to achieve your HP goals, and more cost effective ways. But with Hogan, you know it will look nice!
