Very nice setup.

I was just looking over some logs from my passes at test n tune last night. I have EFI as well so I can log the manifold air temp(taken at entrance to 4150 throttle body). I have a stock flat hood and with it being 65* out last night the air temp when I hit the throttle was 122.5* and when I let off it was 102*. I imagine that whole pass would have been faster if the temp was 65* the whole way down. I like your idea but I think I am going to do something like a 6 pack scoop or a cowl on my 68 Barracuda.
