well i got the air cleaner and all just not sure if my stock hood would shut with the taller intake and if the air grabber box would match up

Nope, mine won't close.

Nope. The RPM is 1 3/8" taller than stock.

You need the dropped base, not sure what year,etc, but there is one.
I modified mine to work.

Back when I had my Red Bee, I temporarily ran an MP M1 single plane with a fiberglass base plate that was heavily modded to fit under the airboxes and seal. I highly reccamend a good torque strap to keep the air cleaner lid from eating up the top of the air box.... Ask me how I know.

FYI the 383 & 440's used different hieghth base plates on the RamCharger option from the factory. 440's alittle shorter; 383's alittle taller.
