Does this fit under a stock hood?

Holley Carberator kit that they sell on a ton of 7 websites with the big dome thingy. and what else do you need to have this?

I've seen some cars with a hole cut out of the hood but do you have to do that for the one that looks like it has a saucer on it??

I will assume that it will fit. I've seen FC's with a RB (or simillar) intake manifold, Holley carb, and the RB air filter canister. I don't think the setup you are talking about is much different than the one I'm talking about.

It will fit just fine. Additional power will most likely only be seen at higher RPMs where the carb would most likely be tuned properly at. The problem with the carb is that it will only be in that special sweet spot over a very narrow RPM range whereas a FI setup can vary the mixtures throughout the RPM range and create a much broader power band. The main advantage of the carb is the elimination of the AFM which yields a good bit of power. A stand-alone engine management system is capable of doing the best of both setups but will drain your pocket quicker than anna nicole. And if you think you had shitty gas milage with the FI you better be prepared to enter a whole new league of inefficiency.

You are right, however don't forget that with a carb setup you are also upgrading the intake manifold. With a carb setup there's no AFM restrictions, plus a larger intake runners.

An EFI Holley style carb and a halltech would make up for a interesting setup
