Well I live in Texas and it gets hot here. The open element that I'm using is going to suck up alot of heat from that engine real soon here. So I was thinking if anyone has seen something like this. The only flaw is that I will be narrowing the air flow but the good part is that I will putting cold air in there instead of hot. So I guess what I need to ask is that which one carries more weight?

Higher flow of hot air Vs. Narrowed flow of cold air.

>keeping in mind the temp outside will be a little over 100 degrees.
