A cool charge gives more power so reducing the hotspot is a good idea, also if you can duct air into the area of the intake this will help rather than letting the carb draw in warm air from the engine compartment.
Always makes me laugh when you see these boy racers who have put a cone air filter in the engine compartment whereas the OE filter always takes air from outside the engine compartment.
