You should try to go back to stock. Your car will be happier.
I have to say that I agree. It looks like you located it inside the engine bay right above the hot exhaust manifold. How is that supposed to draw in cold air?

I used the "tunnel"(see dimensions below) as the air box. It is working well.There is a lot of space there for filters.It is away from the exhaust heat and frees space for working on Bank 1 Cam Cover.
That will save you needing to drop the engine !
* "tunnel" is a trapezoid approx 5-1/4"" wide at the top ,8" wide at the bottom and 4-1/4" high.It does expand a bit toward the outer fender. The total depth is 9-1/2" .
