How are you going to get good air flow to the FMIC? I see the hole cut in the front bumper support, will you open up the bumper cover too?

Car got dynoed in sept. On 8-9 lbs. made 475whp thru a 60e and 9" rear drive it for 3 months and took it back apart. Right now it's almost back together. Did a whole new hot side with a on3 78/75 to replace the 76/65 and a full manual 4L80. Should be hitting the dyno in April with 15 lbs. I'll upload pics later today
