Default I need Help ;-)

Ok Guys…. Need some opinions here. I am just finishing up an installation (gut and reinstall …..) on a customers SM F-15. Having no install experience with RAM/T engines I am a bit concerned about the pipe/engine install. Usually, with a jetcat install I set the nozzle separation to the bellmouth at ½” for max thrust and pipe cooling. As you can see below, I have the engine about as far forward as I can and the nozzle still enters the pipe about ½ to ¾” The pipe is actually sticking further out the fuse at this setting than I would prefer. The question is….. Since the nozzle is about twice as long on this engine, can I slide the pipe up further? Leave it as is….Or, should this setup have the same pipe/bellmouth clearance I am used to with Jetcat???
