   Yep, either a forward facing scoop or cowl induction is bound to
help with underhood temps somewhat. (How much, I don't know.)
As far as functionality goes, at the speeds we travel, either one
should be about the same. At higher speeds (200, 300mph) the cowl
induction is probably the better drag/induction choice. I was originally
going to get a cowl hood, but opted for the ram-air type.
