Clearance above stacks

I have been working on this car for the past 11 years. Finally made it to the track. One issue I have is the engine feels flat. One source I am investigating is in the watershields.

The car has been lowered so much I had to raise the engine to get a better angle on the half shafts. This brought the carbs in very close proximity to the engine/trunk lid. I used the stacks and watershields from a 911 with AC. That is the filters are shorter and the stacks are shorter. The clearance between the stack and the watershield top is 1 inch. Is this enough clearance for a 2.0 engine? Can this be choking off my engine? I am running Zenith's with 32 mm chokes. Here is a pic
