spring loaded or weighted louvers maybe, always open a little but as flow increases with speed the louvers rotate to near vertical, how about a "scoop" of sorts incorporated into the lid, with filter incorporated that when closed mates with the carb, scoop has wings with openings pointed down into the engine bay that funnels air towards the carb, it might need a louvered opening at the top, a waste gate of sorts so when going down the road a rush of cool air would surround the filter at all times, probably way more work than it's worth but fun to think aboutWe might be on to something here! With limiter straps to keep the rear trunk lid from opening too much, we could have a fresh air supply that varies with speed! Except, of course, there is probably more air rushing out the trunk than trying to get in to feed the carbs. What is needed is a wireless pressure sensor to let us know what is really happening in there. You DCNF guys have it easy, you know the carbs are sucking in the hottest air in the engine bay (just above the exhaust manifold).
