I have a summit stage 3 (edelbrock performer rpm knockoff) with a Demon and a 3" air cleaner with a drop base, clears the stock hood by a little.
I have a 455 in my cutlass with a Performer intake and i had to cut a hole in the hood so the air cleaner would fit 😀 Ooppps
i have a ols 403 with the performer rpm, holley carb, drop base air cover and i jus had to ttake the insulationff the hood and it barley clears but itdoes clear
I had a Performer carb on mine with an air cleaner spacer on a standard Performer and it touched the hood. I use a stock air cleaner housing from a Camaro (dual snorkel), and had to use the flat Camaro lid. I switched to a Quadrajet and have plenty of clearance now. i took off the spacer and run a taller Monte Carlo lid on it with no problems. So, in short, it will all depend on your setup and your car.
