Does anyone use one of the half hoods as pictured below? I'm guessing air flow can't get better than these style hoods (i call 1/2 hoods)?

That said, would some honeycomb and Outerwears speedscreen be enough protection with this type of hood?

What about the aluminum air ducts big sprint cars run directing air up, but covering 1/2 the radiator. I can see the protection of it, conversely the air flow would decrese. I'm guessing this not a problem with alky?

Any thoughts? As always I appreciate the help. Have a nice Memorial Day!
On gas you need to invest in a little electric fan and run your generator. Open the front like the pic and all you are going to do is destroy your rad. Methanol will fix all that.
