OK, so here's what I'm thinking - hot air at idle makes the engine run more efficiently, cold air at WOT makes more power. If it runs hot at idle, it's not really bad if you can get the temperature to drop quickly once you start moving, so a solution offering both would be ideal.
Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but given what you said here, it sounds like a short ram intake with no shield would work best if you had some sort of tube that had a front mount opening that would force cooler external air over the filter once the car was moving. At stand still you would be sucking in the hot air from the engine bay, therefore giving you that hot air, but once you were moving you'd be sucking in cool ambient air. This wouldn't work as well cruising along at 60mph though because even at part throttle, you'd still have cool air rushing over the filter.
