it wont fit....trust me, I have tried with a few different setups

The STB and the Plenum Cover both already sit very high. You will notice that they will rub against the hood liner. If you manage to raise the STB, you will dent the hood.

I had the same issues, the STB barely cleared the cover but through normal movement it left a thick gouge on it. I would choose one or the other.
