Another thing you might consider doing to compliment the performance increase from a ram-air type induction scoop is an extractor vent on the bonnet. It should be situated directly behind the radiator/IC, and will provide a quick, unrestricted exit for all the hot air created by those two elements. You could even go so far as to make a shroud to go in the engine bay to ensure that the air cannot go anywhere but out the extractor.
I saw that Kevin Yankton integrated one very nicely into his carbon fiber hood for an NG900. It would also add a nice rally feeling to the car. Good luck!

P.S. I guess this really just applies to a turbo car, as it wouldn't be as important to vent solely the radiator heat on a non-turbo model.
