The S/C hood has a taller cowl; more under hood space above the intake manifold.

The rise is the same, but the s/c hood ramps up steeper at the front of the hood (where the blower clearance problem exists), which gives it a more aggressive "bulge" look.

The blower version is the better looking one if you want a noticeably custom look.
The original version is more subtle and could almost be mistaken for an OEM part, as it's curves just match and blend with the car's lines so well.
