You may also try a WAI, and since that air needs to go up pretty high to get over the car, I'd make a kammback as long as possible. Belly pan too. I'm sure you can consistently get >50 all the time at speeds similar to the speed limit.
I'll have to be creative with mounting the skirts, there isn't much rear fender lip left on the poor thing.

I have no idea what the intake temp is, but it should be pretty warm already. I got rid of all of the tubing connected to the airbox, so it's sucking in underhood air. Which should be pretty hot in summer with most of the grill blocked off.
