Don't be so negative!  :-)

I mentioned that possible method for dual carbs somewhere in the posts.  It
would work quite well - all your points are true  So long as you don't block
all the louvers from cooling air, you won't have a problem with "stealing"
cooling air, either.  The only *potential* problem I could see is that water
might not drop out as well during rainy days, but a little thinking could
take care of that.  Or, maybe I'm making it out to be more of a problem than
it really is.

For my personal setup, I didn't do this because I don't have twin throttle
bodies.  I have one, big, 75mm throttle body right in the middle of the
engine atop a plenum.

Take care,
