Thanks Buzz, I haven't tested any venting yet but there is so much room up front I think the heat would be minimal.

Again I haven't tested but I will see where the best placement of air box and use of the air pick up would be, thank you for your thoughts I assumed every thing was going from the shroud but if it could be made simpler it always the best way (KISS)
