Thanks for sharing the pics Lance! If you know of anyone with a filter top you can borrow, I'd be real curious how it affects airflow if you hit the chassis dyno. Amazing that something as simple as directing airflow can affect power.

When I had a cowl ind. scoop on my car in the fall it would "suck" leaves into it because of the pressure zone at the base of the windshield. It was a 2.5" scoop attached on top of the factory steel hood with the back completely open. Photo below shows my air cleaner housing (without the seal on it), and the leaves would collect down in there around the air cleaner. I guess that proves cowl induction really works. If you run the hood down on the dyno, maybe a small fan blowing into the back of the scoop would more accurately duplicate driving time.
