I just say make a heat extractor. Get a Edge hood and on the piece near the window get a drill bit (your size preference) and drill as many holes as you want. Make sure you sanded down the entire area, so you can get the hood primered and painted. The whole idea behind this would be getting rid of the engine heat, you could possibly pick up a pony or two from this due to cooler engine temps.

^^^if you dont mind making the hood heavier then it already is then you could put some sheet metal that covers the entire underside and then cut a hole in it over your airbox area.
you could also put a sort of reverse scoop. or one upside down right under that and face it forward so when your moving it will push the air more out instead of just down.

His hood does nothing with air to the intake. It is only to decrease engine temps by having cold air go over the engine and hot air escape out the back. You would probably need to fab up a whole new intake if you wanted to make a ram air type setup, but I wouldn't do much for a truck like ours anyway. Maybe add not even 5 hp, not worth the fab time. But thats my humble opinion.

I am VERY impressed with the hood scoops on that guy's Ranger....
Do you guys think that would go good with my Saleen theme? I'd do the work myself.....I already have an Edge hood laying around....
**EDIT**
Here's a Saleen with the same style hood scoops.....
