Hood clearance question

Ok so how many inches in clearance is there between the top of the intake manifold and the underside of the hood?

Not sure, but it's enough to fit an MSD ignition box on top of the IM

Definitely not enough to fit a SC if that's what you're thinking.

Wow, that's incredible. Do you know the owner of that car NirVtec? What did he have to do to get that thing to fit? Anything too extreme?

There's atleast 2 confirmed 4th gens with a supercharger.

I'm surprised you haven't seen any of the topics covering this...

if you really wanna know for sure how much clearance there is, use some sort of hard non sticking putty. get a big piece, put it on top of the intake manifold, close the hood, then open it back up and youll see exactly how much clearance you have to work with.
