massive reconfiguration time again.

Know it's your car and not mine but I still say no scoop.
If you are gonna run that scoop I think it needs to come down a out 4 more inches.

You want the top of the scoop about an inch off the top of the stacks. IMO.
Agreed totally! So now if you're looking at that side view and I was actually cut it where that blue tape is which is perpendicular with the hood. It would drop 3 in correct? And now both it and the hood drop 3 in. Correct? I believe I have about six and a half inch from the top of that back pentastar which would be the top of the air filter to the inside top of that plastic as it sits on those glove boxes. Something to throw in the calculation I've always had the back air filter on a little 3/4 or 1 inch riser to kind of have its own little bit of fresh air it gets. So I could drop that down level with the front one and get more room back there but not much maybe another inch or so. Which would help lower the scoop a little bit. Or I could just get lower air filters and or lower those more to lower the scoop. But honestly I'm with you and don't want to be locked into no scoop I just really want a hole in the hood and it's quite funny that a 14 inch wide by 20 inch long hole is just about perfect for what I need and maybe I could just put this on and play with it a little bit once in awhile. Good chance I might think it's totally stupid and still never use it.
