"Steve, that's a darn good point, the only air filter I could find that fit without hitting the hood was the Mr. Gasket 1 inch. Would love to hear a recommendation for a filter that works with Q-jet & RPM Performer intake. "

I've covered that deal a few times on here.

Folks are quick to install the Edelbrock RPM intake. It woln't outrun a factory intake anyplace to at least 500hp. Not to mention the cobbling that goes with using it including having to move the air cleaner lid closer to the carb. That move alone can kill a LOT of power, WAY more than you ever hoped to gain going to a taller intake.......FWIW....
