A shallow wide conical filter or even a simple mesh grill (Race Parts Direct) will see the blower efficiency soar.
Failing that re locating the radiator pipe and or lowering/changing the radiator dimensions would be ideal.
Thanks for the compliments.

I thought the inlet was going to be the biggest problem on why I am down on power but when we made a pull without it we picked up 20 more foot pounds of torque and only 2 or 3 more HP. The exchangers are moved as far foward as possible, if I was going to do it all over again I would have moved the engine back a little or went with a different bracket set up.
