Default TFS Street Heat Hood Clearance Question

Anyone here have a TFSstreet heat intake with a 3/8's spacer? Will that clear the stock hood? My other question is will thestreet heat intake clear TFS short valve covers with no problems?

(I changed the question from Track heat to Street heat)

I don't think it will, even without the spacer some people have issues with clearance

Ok how about my second question you don't by any chance have the short Trickflow valve covers do you? Does your street intake clear those without a spacer??

yeah they do.It should even fit the tall ones. What kind of heads do you have? I would suggest to get a cowl hood, then you can get the spacer. That heat spacer is nice, I like it alot.

I wanted to run FRPP tall VC's with the street heat and people told me that I would need to run a 1" spacer to clean the FRPP covers and with the 1" spacer I would need a cowl.

Yeah that's true that's my exact setup.
