Default Superformance Cold Air Intake Design

Has anyone ever seen or head of someone successfully creating a cold air intake system for a cobra / Superformance? I'm located in the south and I pretty much just park the car now from June 1st through the end of September. I despise driving these cars in heat.....they feel like they lose 200HP. The 1st year I owned the car I drove it year around but after a few years it is just not fun when the idle is down, you have to constantly clear the carb out and how sluggish they feel in the heat and humidity. When its 50 degrees out the car feels like it has a 150 shot of nitrous on it.

Fuel injection is on the table as well but I don't think that solves the problem. The air intake delivery needs to be part of the overhaul.

If there is a readily available modification short of full blown custom fabrication I've yet to come across it.

Thanks
