EV, CSU, and SDCE all make the good hats. I posted a couple pages back with a link.

I think the SDCE hat is going to be the lowest of all the options (and it includes an integrated surge valve mount to simplify things)-- but it wouldn't hurt to call and get measurements for all of them.

Even if you have to leave the hood off for dyno testing at least you can rule out the hat as a problem... or if you're really lucky it will fix the problem.

If I hadn't sold my SDCE-modded hat last year I'd let you borrow it for testing. Worked great on my car at 15 psi.
