      Since the Monte has a sealed air box would it be better to leave the airbox intact except for removing the bottom?
      I am thinking that by removing the bottom of the airbox, seaingl up the bottom of the nose section and ducting incoming air into the radiator by blocking off the grill and installing a wider and deeper chin spoiler to direct the air under the nose into the radiator I will increase cooling efficiency and help break up the high pressure under the nose.
      The next step would be to install a set of GNX fender vents with the associated ducting to vent engine bay air out of the engine bay. I did find the complete GNX vent kit at GBody parts.
      My only question on this is whether the GNX fenders are close enough to the Monte fenders to make the installation fairly painless?
      My next step is the possibility of the GNX style fender flares to move air away from the wheels and outwards.
      As far as the hood goes, is there really any advantage to moving the intake air from the front (ram air) to the rear (cowl induction)? The design of the inner hood does allow for a sealed airbox to be configured fairly easily, but in the case of the cowl induction would it be better to leave the inlet open or fabricate a flipper door?
      those fender vent should work great, you have a nice flat spot behind the wheel opening.
      Pick up an air cleaner box would be good too. Theres a guy that has the CF ones on ebay all the time. You'd have to relocate the ignition system too.

      Having a hood that opens up 8-10" behind the radiator and an air damn would be good for getting the hot air out.

      A 2-3" suspension drop would do alot for you too.
