I've seen setups similar to this at the track that worked well. I had a theory that keeping the stock base like you have sort of insulates the carb from ingesting a ton of heat, especially any heat soak coming up from the bottom.

Rather than a simple open element that isn't shielded.
Yep.....works best on my rig with a qjet
