Leaves me with about 1/16" clearance on the passenger side , but since the motor torques that way , it isn`t a problem . I can`t run that filter if I run a spacer , so I took the filter off while running tests to see how the engine responds to the 4 hole unit . So far ... I really like the 4 hole tapered unit . Now I need to come up with a filter that will fit under the hood . I may just run it without a filter at the track and go ahead and let it be restricted by using the smaller 9" unit with the extreme top .... or try an oval unit .
The reason I had ERA cut away some of the support was that I was considering running two 4`s , but ended up with a single unit ( AED for the street and Pro Systems for the track ) .

Thanks Bob, got it. I'll check with ERA about trimming the hood to keep my options open.
