Default Trick Flow Spacer = Higher hood?

Has anyone installed a Trick Flow EFI Intake system with a 1" Spacer Track Heat? would the hood be able to close properly or would Ineed to buy a hood with a higher cowl?

I used the 1" on mine to clear my tall valve covers and the intake is over top of the fenders... Modifications at minimum, but more than likely you will need a bigger hood... Especially if you use a taller aftermarket intake

i think with most aftermarket manifolds when u use the 1 inch spacer you need 2 get the cowl hood because of height issues, its the same with my holley manifold
