YSI Blower with FACTORY ZL1 hood. Hood clearance? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Steve_ZL1 · 11-24-2015, 07:12 AM

I am contemplating a stroker 427 with a YSI blower set up. My question is will the intake inlet pipe clear the ZL1 hood vents. The inlet is centered in this set up. Not off to the drivers side like the factory ZL1 blower inlet. This is a BIG concern for me as I will NOT change my hood. If anyone has information on something like this please help me out. Again this question is pertaining to the ZL1 hood ONLY.

The intake manifold will be the variable, not the intake position. I have a LS3 intake on mine and have about 3" of clearance.

Not likely to clear the ZL-1 Hood extractor scoop.

If the inside scoop is removed it should clear the hood with no issues.
