A simple change you might try is to reverse the direction of the hood scoop. There's more air pressure at the base of the windscreen than out on the middle of the hood's surface. (a simple manometer test will prove that) Don't be afraid to go against the majority's opinions....there's little knowledge there..only monkey see monkey do. Badger

Thanks Badger, but I probably fall into the same crowd, sort of anyway!
I still want it to look very Cobra-ish, I have no interest in turning the scoop around, and I am a working JOE so everything needs to be cost effective.
I figure, if I can at least supply lots of air availability(ducts), CFM availability( much bigger air cleaner), Looks( ducting, cobra oval AC dropped down to accept a 3" element, modified turkey pan or airbox).../then I will have a much improved performing car, and still look great at the car shows and for my own eye!
