If it's bigger than the Motordyne, won't there be issues with clearance [hood, strut tower, etc]?

yes there is. Woody has trouble with his CAI ztube. And lots of rubbing on his motor and hood.

I have some rubbing on my engine. I bought the cusco thin strut bar and dont have any trouble with my hood. I did have to take the plastic cover off to fit my Carbon fiber hood on though. One of the hood vents was rubbing the plastic cowl piece.

I thought this was your daily driver? Heavy duty clutch is not going to be fun everyday.
