Default Question for those with trickflow top end
Do I need a cowl hood or is there enough clearance to run the stocker?

Had Trickflow U/L on my 88 LX ttop with a ram air hood and still didn't completely clear, Hood would shut, but would cause the front corner to be elevated, and rubbed finish off of the intake.

If I didn't have the 1" spacer, mine wouldn't rub. It just barely rubs now....
