As I understand it the air flow would varry as speed changed up tp a point. At highway speeds the air goes upward leaveing the nose and returning to tumble at the windsheild creating a high pressure area. Watch NASCAR, they use cowl induction. An entance farther forward on the nose would work better up to a point . My question is just how much forced air is there. I can see cooler outside air up and out of a lot of the dirt at the road surface. But with varring flow would a flow though scoop take advantage of both nose flow and then cowl when it started to take affect. Also a seal seperating warmer air from the radiator and around engine. I have seen foam sealed plates and prestine sheet metal that fit from wheel well to wheel well arund the engine above the exhaust manifolds .A real work of art.
