So I'm still running the GT k member in a 4 valve swapped 02. It fit ok with the Procharger but there is no way I can see the hood closing with a twin screw. I'd like to run a tubular k member and a arms but I don't think I would like to run coilovers. Any suggestions on a good setup keeping in mind the car is primarily for the track and minimal street use

changing the k-member isn't going to lower the engine any, you need a cobra or mach1 hood.

I have an 03 cobra hood. Trust me it isnt going to sit in there the way it is. Aren't the K members specific to the 4 valve cars

Looking at it a second time. It seems to be hitting where the throttle cable/ cruise cable bracket attaches to the upper plenum which right now is an 01 cobra plenum. It's a tight fit but depending on where that sits with the twin screw and the fact that I don't have cruise control any longer it might just sit down enough
