That's also more money that I have to spend. I'd have to buy a new TB, new supercharger to TB pipe, new spacer, and will have waisted the money on the TB, spacer and elbow I already have. I live right next to summit racing where I bought the thing. Basically what I am asking is are all of them setup the same way? If I take it back and get a different brand such as Ford Racing Cobra R, will I have the same issue?

He's got an SN95 that has that silly elbow that drops down
off the intake. It probably wont clear with a 1/2" spacer.

You can try another hood, not sure if it will help you or not.
Some have that big thing in the back like Harwood does, some dont.

Get a set of valve covers from Joe Heck racing then get rid of the intake spacer. I looked everywhere and they are the only covers around made especially for the 94-95. They are way nice and you don't need that damn spacer
