Wow, you caught Michael's updated before I did. We were looking for something that hopefully could breathe a little better when he was driving and not showing off. I'm sure he will catch this and offer feedback.

The whole assembly is 3.563" tall.. It'll never fit under my hood.. 
Anyway, I'm running the 1 3/4" oval K&N filter on my 482".. I dyno'd with and without and @ 440 rwhp I'm only losing 7 rwhp due to the filter. Not too shabby considering how height challenged it is..
oops.. a day late and a dollar short on this post...

Sorry, that was the first upgrade Michael did on his own. He's West Coast and usually checks in here around lunch.

I used the measurements from Summit's web site and built a cardboard mock-up of their 12" unit and it rested right against my hood. I emailed Summit and asked if their filter was available 1" tall (this would still flow more air than a regular oval air cleaner assy) but they said no and suggested I try K&N's site. I might just buy it and return it if I can't get it to work.

Sorry, I was not able to access my system yesterday, so no update to the thread.
The Summit aircleaner works great. No issues on fit. I don't have any dyno numbers of before/after, but it only goes to reason that more air = more power.
The bonus is that the set-up looks good! K&N has a 9" round that is open on the top. However no chrome, so no bling affect. The Summit goes and shows, which is the best of both worlds.  |

I have a Vic Jr. under a 850 Mighty Demon and, even with the hood spacers in place I have 0" clearance on my mock-up. I like the look of Summit's air cleaner assy. and, if I buy it, I'm hoping K&N has a shorter filter to fit it. I also asked Summit if it was available in a drop base but no dice.

Just a heads up on the Summit vs. K&N filters... I tried to mix and match them about a year ago and the color/style of the elements was not the same. I mistakingly cautioned Michael that it Summit had a mismatch with itself but I checked my notes and it was when we tried to use a K&N filter with a Summit lid.
