The bigger the better. I can't answer your clearance problem but I can answer what they do. All they do is space the plenum from the lower plenum so heat can't be transfered as quickly and easily to the upper. Meaning your air stays cooler. Best mod you can do for the price.

I'm pretty sure the 1" spacer won't clear the stock hood. Not sure about anything less than that.

If you still have the stock hood gspfunk already told you it wont fit. Is it still stock?
