I run a single with a SMIC...and I did notice a difference in pull in the upper rpms with fresh air duct and a shield. My intake sits almost in the same spot yours does and would draw mostly HOT air from the radiator, especially when the fans would kick on.
It looks like your IC will block most of the rad.fan exhaust, but that's not too good either. I run WI ~15psi. I did note a large decrease in air intake temps (via Haltech) with 4th gear tuning pulls @17psi with WI, ducting and a sheild.
just thought I'd share my thoughts...something to think about when you are all broke in.
